Sneak Peek of Lotus Blossoms

I love this set.  Here I used 2 of the stamps. The lotus blossom in the bottom corner is a stamp by itself. I colored it and then cut it out and popped it up over the flower on the main image. I've colored the whole thing with chalks. Stay tuned for the Blog Hop beginning next Tuesday to view the complete set.

Coloring on Glitter

Welcome SSSD ladies. This month swap technique is quick and fun. Let's get started. You need double sided adhesive sheets or a wide double sided tape, piece of card stock, Gold Outline Stickers, microfine white glitter and markers. 

Cut your adhesive sheet to the size you want your glittered layer. Remove protective paper from one side of your adhesive sheet. 

Now stick your stickers onto the sticky surface. 

Apply your microfine white glitter all over and then use your fingers to move it around and make sure the whole piece is covered.  Press down on it and work the glitter into the adhesive. Then shake off all the excess glitter. 

Here's what it looks like. Nice and sparkly. Remove the backing and stick it to your card stock. I've used Sticker Paper from Sparkle n Sprinkle so I can skip this step. It's already attached to paper.

Using your Copics color your design. The glitter will not hurt your markers. 

 Excuse that shadow. I have got to figure out what part of me is causing that in all my photos and get rid of it. 

Here's my finished card. 

Have fun ladies.

Purple

Lets see the PURPLE!! Lots and lots of PURPLE. Head on over to the Speedy Fox and Friends Blog and enter your card for a chance to win a great stamp set. The background is one of the sprayed backgrounds I made during the Speedy TV Week 2 of Basic Backgrounds. I've covered over the stenciled part with my Crocus. The spray was the perfect color so I couldn't resist using it.

The Letter " Y "

That's the Challenge at Speedy Fox and Friends this week. Have a "Y" on the front of your card or something should begin with "Y". I have both.  Yellow begins with "Y" and Birthday ends with a "Y". That wasn't hard.  Go on over and add your card for a chance to win a great stamp set. I just received this Spellbinders die set. Isn't it gorgeous!!
