Life is a Blessing!

I'm excited to share this new technique I've tried using vellum.  

I stamped my Unity Image with versa mark and embossed black.

I painted the flower with DecoArt Metallic Lustre.  They did FABULOUS on the vellum!!

Once you use Metallic Lustre, you rub over it with a soft cloth and it makes it shiny!

I'm entering the following challenges:

Cowboy Girl Birthday!

Hap

Happy Saturday!

I've designed a custom birthday card.

The request was for a 17 year old girl using cowboy boots.

I hand drew the boot on tan SU cardstock. Ran it thru Big Shot using Sizzix Flourish embossing folder. I inked up one side with SU Bravo Burgundy which created this cool two toned look.

 I used Zig Artist Sketching Pen to outline the boot and draw the heel.

 Next, I applied Metallic Lustre -Fab Fushia with my finger.

Shiny highlights!

                     I knew I wanted to show both boots standing up. I designed a Z-Fold.

                   Started with 10x7 white cardstock. Scored at 2 3/4 and 5 inches.

             Covered with designer paper.

             folded and attached the boots with SU dimensionals.

This is did dots using Liquid Pearl White Opal

Then I decorated with Flourish with a Bling pearls and 

Wild Orchid flowers. 

The sentiments were stamped on tan cardstock and punched the edges with scallop punch.

Viola! LOVE how it turned out!!

Thanks for stopping by. Have a terrific weekend!
