Hello and WELCOME!
It's  the weekend!   Yea!   I hope everyone has a great weekend planned!

Today I am doing a video featuring light source, shadows  and shading.   This is a special request from my friend Kristine!
I have used the light source guides before but I wanted to explain how I use the linear guide in a little more detail.
I will share some of the other guides later!
But for now - let's get started with  Shadows & Shading with the linear guide !
Here's to you, Kristine!   :D

TIP
I just adore this paper - BoBunny Zip-A-Dee-Doodle Collection.
I wanted to make sure I showcased the gorgeous paper to I cut a flower from the paper using my designer layer.    I did this in an area that would not show when I applied my focal image.
I then shaped the flower with my moving tools and mat.
Faber Castell Gel Medium was applied to help keep the shape.
The great thing is...   It was a great embellishment and I didn't have to use another piece of paper!

Spring, Blossoms and Butterflies

Hi everyone, and welcome!

It's Marie here with another designer card for you.

I wanted to share a card I created using paper from our very own Paper Temptress and some flower die from Cherry Lynn Dies.

1. My card base is Heavenly White 110# cardstock.  I love the weight of this for my card base and it is super smooth and feels wonderful to touch.
2. The base layer is a beautiful pink called Cotton Candy.
3. The Top layer is Neenah Solar White.   I used the light 65# so I was able to get a deep impression with my embossing folder.    The edges were sponged using Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
4. The flowers and butterfly were cut from Neenah Solar White paper.   The flowers were sponged with Tim Holtz Milled Lavender  and Spun Sugar Distress Ink.
5. Pearls were used for embellishment.

I hope you enjoyed this card.  Treat ourself and stop by Paper Temptress and check out all the wonderful paper, ribbon/bows and flowers!   !

Have a wonderful, crafty week!
