Birthday Card by Yasmin Tölche

Hello everyone. It's Yasmin on the MSD-blog today and I have a birthday card to share with you. You can never get enough birthday cards can you? :)

I've used a cut-out from "Faux Pas" paper in the "Junque Gypsey" Collection from Marion Smith Designs and added a little pearl inside of the butterfly.

I love making layers on my cards, and adding a chipboard piece makes a bit of texture to the card aswell.

The little arrow charm with the heart is a lovely MSD embellishment. So cute! 

Thank you so much for joining me here today! See you soon :)

@Love Layout by Irene Tan

Hello friends! Have you all tried playing with the Color Lab kit by Marion Smith Designs? If not, today I would like to show you all a layout which I've decorated with tons of flowers colored using Color Lab.

This layout features the beautiful and vintage "Junque Gypsy" collection by Marion Smith Designs.

To warm the tones of this layout, I've used Color Lab to color some warmer tones on the flowers.

It is so easy to color these flowers using Color Lab. Here are some simple steps which I've used. First of all, mist the flowers by using the spray with the mixture of color pigments of your choice.

While the flower is still wet, use a brush and some darker tones pigment to add depths to it.

Keep adding colors until you get your desired flower look. I've also added some glitter to my flowers for some sparkle.

Supplies Used:

Junque Gypsy collection

Color Lab kit

Gems

Hope you all like these simple tips. Hope to see you all again soon!

"Posh" Layout with Sandi

Hello, everyone! 

Sandi here with you today sharing a layout created with papers from the "Posh" collection. Classic teal, florals and leopard … so yummy! 

I did a small bit of mixed media work on the background but kept it very light. I wanted that floral paper to really shine front and center. 

Then I built up a few layers with media, papers, embellies and flowers. I even pulled out a fabric flower I've had for YEARS~ but it was so perfect for this photo!

Here are a few close-ups:

That's it from me today.
Thanks for coming by today!
