Song in your Heart

 These were both created at the same time for the Stampotique challenge which is to use newspaper and for the Simon Says Stamp and Show buttons.  I was inspired by Kim's use of the newsprint and Lisa's fabulous flowers. 

I started with glimmer misting some newspaper. (Several sheets as I kept trying different things)  I wanted to use this beautiful sentiment from Verses Sing it Back to You - FS1135 - E and the beautiful stamp from Stampers Anonymous. I added a few birds from B Line Designs to sing their songs!

The lace trim is from Webster's Pages and the inspiration for the green color.  The glimmer mists used include: Key Lime Pie and Decadence.I had fun misting the paper and twisting and folding to create my newspaper flowers.


Thanks for stopping by!

Orange and Turquoise

I saw the wonderful colors for the Stampotique challenge and wanted to play along.  I love the colors of orange and turquoise together. They are so striking.  Stampotique's challenge is to use Stampotique stamps and the colors orange and turquoise. The Altered Alice blog challenge is to create a project with something altered or a dress form and Louise's Tag Tuesday Challenge is to use more than one circle. 

I combined all three challenges and used the  Stampotique  mushrooms and sentiment to create this tag. 

The circles are punched from pattern paper and a backgorund I created using the Layers of Colors Art Stencil Belle Brocade and Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Patina. 

Everything is sponged with Ranger Distress Ink Rusty Hinge and Memento Rich Cocoa. 

The butterflies are actually created from the smallest mushrooms. I cut the tops off and used them for wings. (My altered touch along with the fact that butterflies start as caterpillars) All working into the Altered Alice challenge. :) 

Storm update:  We have snow blown into a big pile by the front door which is at least 4 feet high.  The poor dogs are having issues getting outside. Every trip requires me to go out there and shovel away a couple feet of snow and a path. The puppy doesn't like it as she isn't used to this.  The older dog just wants to get out and back in as soon as possible. :) (I know the feeling) 

Have a wonderful day... By the way, I am so happy that our power has held, the heat is on and we are all home safe and together.
