Anyway on to some craftiness....
I am so excited to be a guest designer over at the CropStop this month for the 18th and the 25th of January. They also have an on-line store where they sell several items from popular brand-names.
I'm thrilled, as this is my first time being gust designer. A few months ago I won the challenge over on their blog. As a prize I received a cute embossing folder by Couture Creations from the Fresh and Fun collection call Smooch. With Valentines right around the corner I thought it would be the perfect tool to use for my creation for their blog this week.
Here is what I came up with:
Can't tell from the photo,but that is a shiny gold arrow as well, to match the gold highlight on the bird |
Supplies:
- CuttleBug
- Embossing folder: Smooch by Couture Creations
- Stamp set (for sentiment): From Close to my Heart called My Sunshine (S1304)
- Dies: Lawn Fawn - large scalloped rectangles and a flourish not sure by who (comment below if you know)
- Lace ribbon -- up-cycled from an old shirt
- Flower (stash)
- Copper brads (one for birds eye and one for center of flower)
- Speed ball roller for wet embossing (I used roller on the inside of the folder for the debossed (top layer) and straight on the paper for the second layer.
- Inks - Cotton Candy pink, Chocolate brown and gold metallic (to accent the cute little bird - he needed to stand out more)
- Arrow embellishment: by Anna Griffin
- Gold bow
- Adhesive - I like Zots and Tombow
- Card stock - in cream
- Patterned paper - brown with polka-a-dots from K&Company
- Printer for inside sentiment
My inside sentiment made it a "thank you" vs. a "Valentine " |
