Copper Flowers

Flutterby Wednesday - FBW160 Open Challenge
Speedy the Cat's Friends - #61 Make It Sparkle and Birthday Swap

Flutterby Wednesday is back after a week off.  Not only do we have everybody's favorite Open Challenge {just remember your butterfly, fairy or angel}, but we also have a sponsor!  Through the Craftroom Door will be giving away a one-year .pdf subscription to one lucky participant.  Check out the FBW Blog for all the details! {wink}

I have used the flowers from Brick Wall by Mark's Finest Papers.  I colored them with a Cameo Coral marker and a clear stardust glitter pen for some sparkle.  Well, that combination gave these pretty flowers a copper tone that matches the Crisp Copper Kettle paper perfectly ~ what a happy surprise!  {squeal}

 Thanks for fluttering by and I hope to see your creation at Flutterby Wednesday this week!

Splitcoast Sketch Challenge - SC292

Speedy's Friends Challenge #14 - Thank You Card

Fun sketch this week based on a card by Dawn Mercedes. Which is perfect because I needed to make her a thank you card using the fun stuff she sent in my un-birthday package. {see previous post}

I embossed a star with one of my new cuttlebug folders and then used a star nestie to cut out a larger star around it. I used the nestie as a template to trace a star outline with my stardust pen. I highlighted the dry embossed part with my pen too. The turquoise part is covered with stars using my Versarmark Dazzle ink pad. I love how it gives a shimmery tone on tone background. The fun tabs were decorated with my new ribbon, star gems and embossing folder.
