Butterflies

Hiya
The weather is all over the place atm cold on some days and mad as a hatter hot on the other days.  Mother Nature at her best and it must be the time of the month for her too.  We just had a Stitches and Craft Show and once again we're off to the show.  So many new things to lookie and buy...  Now to try and put them to good use.
I finally got my hands on some of Tim Holtz butterflies and thought of making this card.  I used SU makers to mist it over the images and glimmer mist in the back ground.  A pity the photo doesn't show you the gold shimmer on the card.  SU punches, stamp, ink, cardstock, net lacing.  I used Tim Holtz markers to colour the stamped image gently breathed on it to remoisten before stamping the image.

Hi everyone,
It's already Friday and the second week of school hols.  We went and watched Madagascar 3 and enjoyed it immensley.  Marty still has it .  If you haven't seen it, it's worth watching for young and old alike.
I've started making Chirstmas cards for our troops so apologies for the lack of postings.  There's a lady whose husband is in the services asking crafters to donate cards to send overseas since our troops don't get a chance to buy cards to send home.  I always find old scap paper and embellishments laying in my MANY drawers that I don't get to use up, so why not put them to good use and come up with some new ways to use them.
Well I did manage to colour this Gorguss girl for the challenge over at http://blog.markerpop.com/  Spellbinders Shapeabilities was used, SU cardstock, Copic markers ofcourse and a embellishment as well.

Have a gr8 day
Julie


 
THE CHALLENGE: Oldies, but Goodies
Pull out your oldest markers and use them! If you can’t remember your oldest markers, just use some that you think are some of your oldest ones. We’re not going to know the difference   You DO NOT have to use a Gorjuss stamp like we did –as long as you color something, it counts! You may play along with other challenges, but excessive challenge pile-ons (7 or more challenges) will result in disqualification for our amazing prize. As always, have fun creating!
