Well, I've been trying to do the challenges on Splitcoast and I'm about a week late! I had a few hours this weekend to play so I did most of last week's challenges that I'll post now! This could also mean, double posts in a day if I'm more on the ball this week!
This was last week's colour challenge....Soft Sky, Ruby Red and Pumpkin Pie....YUMMY!!! Love it!
It's tough to see in the photo but the Ruby Red layer and the Soft Sky layer are "popped" up using dimensionals as well as the top butterfly. I am also trying hard to stick to 100% SU so guess what????? I made my own dew drops!!!! I used Crystal Effects (a good size blog) and then took a tooth pick and dipped it in my reinker. After that I just gently let the reinker drop onto the Crystal Effects blob and VOILA this is what I ended up with! I made them on waxed paper (not my new acrylic grid!) and when they were dry they just peeled right up!!!
Recipe:
Stamps: Priceless (isn't it a fun set....check out the swirls on the Scrapbook paper, cute eh?)
Colours: Ruby Red, Soft Sky, Pumpkin Pie
Others: Silver Hodgepodge (from the mini), Crystal Effects, reinkers, Pumpkin striped ribbon, dimensionals
Hope you are having a great long weekend (for the Canadians out there!)
