Howdy Bloggers!
Wow - it is only 78 degrees here in Dallas today.
A high temp of only 78 degrees.
In August. In Dallas.
Unheard of!
Today I have my DT project for ColourQ and the fall colors were gret
but I wanted to use them in a non-traditional way. I really wanted to play up
the blue so that the layout looked more summery than fall.
Look at my pretty kitty! Isn't he sweet????
I used Echo Park Chillingsworth Manor, Prima, Viva Decors Modellier Creme
some bling, the stick pins I made myself, and the ruffled paper is from a sheet
of KaiserCraft paper. I also used Glue dots (3-D, Craft and Glue lines), Quick Quotes Powder Puff
inks, my sewing machine and Tattered Angels ink.
inks, my sewing machine and Tattered Angels ink.
I love to make my own stick pins and if you want to learn
how to do it I have a great tutorial HERE on my blog. Super easy.
I used a Crafters Workshop Stencil and Viva Decor's Modellier Paste to make this
awesome background.
I cut the edge from a die cut KaiserCraft sheet, sprayed it with ink and
scrunched it up to make the ruffle.
Here is the fabulous palette from ColourQ - be sure to join in the fun.
You have until noon on Sunday to link up your project over at the blog.
I am also linking up at the following challenges:
Catered Crop - Distress(the center doily and the ruffle)
