A Little Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist

on a plastic work surface of some sort and a ‘die cut’ from my Silhouette machine and i came up with this…

Tattered Angels Mists are rather expensive but they have a shimmer that is so lovely. And  i had bought Meadow Green and  Burnt Red (this one mostly for Christmas stuff) and so decided to try something  so I squirted a squirt of the red and a squirt of green on either side close to each other and laid the die cut into the little color bath and the result is this! The color is much more intense than just spraying directly on paper and looked so lovely for this little motif.

Then i cut another of this pattern and sprayed the glimmer mist directly on it and it looks like this…

Both are just beautiful! but it is easier to control where you want the color if you dip into a bath of color. I used the same colors and just love how they blended into each other.

Flourishes Challenge

Flourishes is having a challenge! They are offering, as a prize, the whole set of new stamps set she is releasing this Friday. I can hardly stand it! I would love to have that. I entered this card even though I wasn’t sure that it was really good enough.

I think if i had spritzed the paper first a little, then layed the mask onto the paper and finished spritzing i would have liked it better. I love the flourish, just didn’t want it to be so startlingly white with the other pieces on the card. But two very kind people made a comment about what they liked about the card; so i cheered up. One was on the background.

The challenge was for a twinchy; a little 2-inch square work of art that like to take center stage. I just loved the way she worded that. And I even had a Flourish Stamp set to work with!

So now i am biting my nails…..till Friday. Just joking; I’m not really biting my nails. But i would sure love to win the drawing.

JustRite Part 2

I had a scrap of Basic Grey paper from the Bittersweet collection that when I was playing around with the Tattered angel spray and a silhouette cut pattern i was using for a mask came out so pretty that kept it out on my desk.

And when I was putting this card together I tried it with the image and stamped image it worked so well I went ahead and put it together even though it is not my normal color scheme.

 But trying to photo graph it was a problem. I did finally manage to get a good shot finally so here it is. A little on the grey side but both the stamp and my pretty paper shoe up nicely anyway and lightening it up did not do it any favors.

Butterfly_floral_lace_square_C00500_19210 was used as a stencil through which the Iridescent glimmer spray showed up really nice. The lace border is a take off on the one in the silhouette store; it was not quite what i wanted, though i do have it in my collection, so using the closed spline tool i did the lace. If anyone want the cutting file I can email it to them.
