Serene Spring Beauty

Well even though I made it,  I still am going to call it a beauty. This is my favorite set so far that I have seen from the new catalog.  Basically it’s cause you can color it, but I love doing the little sceneries.  My favorite thing is obviously doing the cloud with the scallop circle, that makes the sky so lifelike. I actually just noticed I forgot to put the little itty bitty on the bottom for dirt, oh well…too late now!  Now Sheri will tell you – huh Sheri? That pictures do not do the cards justice. She came to class tonight with Jaime and Jessica – hey girls, and she saw these cards in person and she told me that in real life they look way better.

I also added some Crystal Effects on the butterfly, the flower centers, and also the little ladybug on the blade of grass, is that not the cutest little detail?

 

 

I also paper pierced a strip of the new Bella Rose paper, and then connected the dots with a chocolate chip marker to make it look like stitched ribbon, and then added one of the new buttons. I added a little piece of whisper white cardstock cut real thin and “threaded” the button for some faux thread.

 

 

Here you can see some of the layering involved. I love to sit and cut out paper, I mean heck some of the pieces were so small, I had to hold them with tweezers, I get that cutting gene from my Granny I think.

I had two rounds of Fresh Cuts class today, and everyone loved their projects I think.  I got my card pretty much done for tomorrow’s post, but want to make sure tomorrow, (I am headed to bed) so there will be no sneak peek tonight.

I am so jealous!!!! I am green with envy!!! My BFF Tracy and her cutie tight patootie hubby went to see Ryan Shupe and the RubberBand tonight in PA!  Oh I wish I had been there. I mean they are my guys ya know. I can only hope she got some good pictures, and made sure to tell Craig that I am still his number one fan and Tracy was there so I could live through her tonight.  Ohmmm!!!! She’s channeling me!!!! Oh and not only is she channeling me, she is emailing me to tell me that they played for almost 3 hours!!!  OMG! I am even more jealous now, but she did talk to Craig and he remembers me, well of course he would, don’t you think you would always remember a freaky stalker?

Anyway, have an awesome Sunday and thanks so much for stopping in!

Hugs, Di
