It was a good chance to play with lots of new goodies from the Summer Mini too :o)
I've used Kaleidoscope DSP, "Butterfly Prints" stamp set and matching punch (see my Bundles for a great deal on these!) and the 1 3/4" Circle Punch too (sooo handy!)
I chose blue for Hannah:

It's Tempting Turquoise to match the Kaleidoscope paper. These papers have lots of Bold Brights colours, but they have a slightly faded-out look to them, like well-worn fabric. To co-ordinate with that, I sponged the Tempting Turquoise cardstock with Whisper White Craft ink. My 1 3/4" circle actually started it's life as a plain white circle. First I sponged it in Tempting Turquoise and Green Galore, and then pressed my Versamark inkpad all over it. Then I applied heat-and-stick powder, heated it until it is just sticky, and then applied dazzling diamonds glitter. One more blast of the heat tool to set the glitter and voila - bling! Certainly Celery ribbon and a Rhinestone brad complete the card.
I have to say, I'm loving the butterfly set and matching punch. It sure beats cutting out all those wings!
Of course I had to make wrapping to match. This is a pull-treat pouch:

Here is Becca's version in Pixie Pink (also sponged with white):

They're gorgeous, Marelle. Colin gets a workout in our house, too!
ReplyDeleteLove the cards and gifts, Marelle. Thank You for the "How To" instructions ... I hadn't thought of the sponging, nor using the glitter. They really add that extra "Ooh La La" to your projects. :)
ReplyDeleteColin is VERY popular in our house not only with the kids...:)
ReplyDeleteWow Marelle ... your cards are just the sweetest thing! I have been catching up on some of your posts ... after being MIA for a while. You must be in a muddle ... with reno's going on ... but you still seem to keep on top of things! Such an inspiration. I hope you and your lovely family have a wonderful time this Christmas. Wishing you every happiness and blessings in 2010. Hugs, Andrea L xxx
ReplyDeletethey are so pretty and Colin is such a great cd and preformer to give to any child
