Just Fake It....


Well sorry you weren't pleased with DD a.k.a. Dust Rag posting for me so I decided to return for Flourishes challenge Timeless Tuesday. Today Betty challenged us to be faux ( better known as fake) and of course for me this was a very difficult challenge because I am a very sincere and true to myself and everyone else too. I used the Gerbera Daisy set and took the two little butterflies and colored them with Copic Markers. Yes, I did say they were colored with Copic markers and then to give them some special sheen ( also known as a bit of a shine) they were embossed with clear embossing powder. This was a simple card using some BG paper called Ambrosia ( which is a marshmallow salade with coconut and fruit) so that 's a strange name for paper now isn't it! Slap that on some black cardstock along with a little punched edge done with a MS punch , do a bit of paper piercing , add a black fancy schmansy ribbon and you are done.


The "fake" part of my card is actually a faux metal tag. I used two sizes of circle punches to create a silver frame around my butterflies and message to make it look like those little metal rimmed tags.... go figure! I found the tutorial over on SCS right here.

I must really appologize for calling DD a Dust Rag and I think because she is a spawn of mine I have to change her name to Maiden Anne of the Rubbermaid's court. Happy week fellow stampers.

Timeless Tuesday Challenge


Well today's challenge at Timeless Tuesday ( click my button ) is to create a card using one of Kimberly Poloson's posters as your inspiration. I chose one she calls Garden Shadow 1. I liked the fact it is done just in black and ivory and the image and DP more or less dominate. I used Flourishes Poppy and some wonderful paper from a pad put out by K & Company, added a bit of scallops by a punch from Martha ( Stewart that is ) and some bling black beads. Easy card with decent results. Cloudy here today after starting out as a beautiful sunny day the clouds moved in and now it's sort of hazy... me too. Hope your hump day is going well. See you on Friday for
another challenge.
