So...I took some time off from blogging, & even creating a little bit! Have no fear though!
I'm back & even better craftier than before! (Maybe?)
Life's been a little hectic the past couple of years, but one of my "resolutions" this year was to get back to blogging & putting a little bit of my "stuff" out there in the interwebs...and since it's MARCH you can see how that's going! ;)
This project was part of the "let's clean all these stacks of things off the scrapbook table so we can see what we're actually working with" mission. I have a really bad interesting habit of seeing something in my craft room, realizing that I want to use in an (un-named) project, setting it aside in a "project pile" & adding to said pile for a couple of years months forever days! :| This isn't really a problem per se...until all of the available creating spaces are covered with piles.
So I bought some goodies from the ReneaBouquets store to jump start my blog creations, tackled one of those "project piles" & came up with some pretty neat cards!
The paper is Blue Fern Studios (can't recall the line off the top of my head). I love their paper because it is so heavy & easy to add all sorts of "stuffs" to it! I used a variety of said "stuffs" here including some sparkly embossing powder & the ever old faithful texture paste (plus lots of inks & sprays for added color)!
The picture above has some Renea's beautiful board & one of here butterflies & the picture below has some more beautiful board & a few beautiful beads. The "Memories" & "Capture the Moment" bits were wood pieces that I meant to use for a different project, but ended up in the Project Pile.
I never really know what I want to do with the insides of my cards. For these two I simply added some slightly blank-ish pieces of paper so I can write on them if I so desire when I determine who the cards will eventually go to live with.
I added a little stamping, a little inking & a little color texture to the insides. *happy sigh*
So there ya have it! My first blog post in years FOREVER! I promise it's not the last! Thanks for looking & thanks for your comments!
