Well I finally got around to creating something this week, thanks to a swap invite from The BrakeFast Club, "Wings." The Dragonfly stamps are from I Brake For Stamps and there are four different sizes I believe. I used one of the new Tim Holtz Texture Fades embossing folder and did the Cuttlebug Highlight technique from the Technique Junkies. IBFS also has a new challenge blog and this week it is for "techniques" and so we are off for our first visit there. There is also a random prize at the new IBFS challenge blog, so stop by! Our Grundy Monday adventure with Linda has us taking a technique trip back to January 2008 with Mr. Holtz, who we all just adore. Vicki's Cheerful Stamp Pad challenge is "Things with Wings." so we buzzing by there also. Last but not least on the challenge flight, Simon Says Stamp and Show Your Distressed/Torn Edges.
I inked the center dragonfly with several colors and then gave it a quick spray with Iridescent Gold, Glimmer Mist. Once dried, I embossed with clear EP. During the background creation, I also gave quick sprays of the Glimmer Mist, including over the final embossing step.
Sorry I have not been as active with blogging, but I just have had to keep my computer/typing time to a minimum. So if I have not been visiting as much, I am still around and thinking of you! Have a wonderful weekend!
Paper is Stampin Up, Cool Caribbean, Mellow Moss, Whisper White, Glimmer Mist, Distress Inks Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky, Bundled Sage, Forest Green, Mustard Seed, Walnut Stain, Close to Cocoa Ink Marker.
