Dare to Dream

I saw a card like this when I was browsing online and had to make my own. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the person who created the original card or I would share it here.

I love this technique as it is so simple to do but so pretty. I spread Crystal Effects over a piece of window sheet and then swirled some Melon Mambo reinker around. I let it dry over night and then cut out the butterfly using the Big Shot and the Beautiful Butterflies BigZ Die. I attached it to a white card with just one strip of sticky strip in the middle of the butterfly so that I could lift the wings. I then drew the line with a black marker and attached jewels, some of which I had colored with a pink Sharpie marker. My greeting comes from the Loving Thoughts stamp set and is stamped in black.

COLOR REFRESH

Stampin' Up! announced that the upcoming 2013-2014 annual catalogue will include 10 new colours (most of which are returning In Colors from previous years)!

Monster Card

I don't know what I was thinking when I started this card, but it DEFINITELY wasn't this! I am not that fond of how it turned out, but I thought I would share my goof. I was aiming for a card that would be suitable for a young person but think I missed the mark. Oh well, they can't all turn out the way you want. Back to the drawing board!
