Springtime With A Little Shine

Well now that we have started Spring what a better way to enjoy it than with.....SNOW....(hit the brakes) yes snow were expected to get any were to 1" to 4" of snow in my area of Connecticut. But I'm not going to let a little more snow loose my sparkle. I'm going to add some German Glass Glitter and let it shine.

I added some German Glass Glitter to the oval parts of my Spellbinders Beaded Ovals Die. What do you think of the new Tattered Teddy coming soon to The Beary Scrap Family. He's so cute. He was made with Mulberry Paper and inked with Colorbox Ink. My background paper is from the Springtime Collection from Echo Park. I have used flowers from Prima the Fleurs de Prima and a Butterfly also from Prima from my stash. Don't forget we are still having our Birthday Celebration going on and make sure you enter your card ---HERE---

Everything Is Coming Up Flowers At Southern Girls Challenges

I can not wait till I can see real flowers growing again. Were finally starting to get rid of some of this snow and I actually have a few flowers trying to peek out of the ground. Our new challenge is a real easy one for you:

Flowers

Here my project is out of the shadow box so you can see it better without the glare from the glass.

Here are so pictures of my project in the shadow box. No matter how hard I tried I kept picking up the reflection from the glass. But I wanted to show you the angles of this in the shadow box. I love it.

My digi Funny Sunflower is from The Paper Shelter and they are one of our sponsors at

Southern Girls Challenges

I used the pre-colored image for my sunflower and printed 3 copies and layered it. I have never used a pre-colored image and wanted to give it a try.
I used the Large EK Success Daisy Punch and the Medium EK Success Retro Flower Punch to make my flower. I also used Colorbox Ink on my flower. I used the Fiskars Duel Tip Stylus Embossing Tool to shape my flower that was taught in an Ustream class by Anna from More Paper Than Shoes.
Now lets see your flowers and enter your card ---HERE---
