Razzle Dazzle Spotlight

I got some new goodies last week including the new "Razzle Dazzle" stamp set and on Saturday I dived in and had some fun. This was actually a colour combo challenge issued by my friend (and upline) Maggie to use Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry and Dusty Durango together. I kind of cheated because there isn't a whole lot of the Dusty Durango there.

I also tried a new technique for me called "Spotlighting". I stamped my image in Black Stazon, which gives a great crisp image and a contrast colour (although I was toying with using Chocolate Chip to match the card stock). Then I coloured part of my image with my in-colour markers (awesome!) using a circle punch to cut it out and adhere on top of my stamped image.
I do like all the Chocolate chip cardstock peeking through. The other colours are so bright that it tempers them but also makes them pop. The sentiment was from the new stamp set Teeny Tiny Wishes, it comes with 24 different sentiments and all in different fonts so there is such a lovely variety.



I'm shocked I didn't use the Big Shot. Oh well, I made other things that more than make up for it. I also got the Matchbox die and it is pretty cool. Here is what I made (but I had to use the no longer available Raspberry Tart paper and pink pirouette cardstock (but I had to try it!) and I also used to it make tags on another 2 cards. The matching stamp set Matchbox Messages is also a great product.















Thanks for looking! If you have any questions about my projects or Stampin' Up Products feel free to email me.

Big Shot Butterflies

Someone recently accused me of 'loving' flowers and butterflies for stamping. This project does not prove them wrong. I do love it though. I bought this lovely shadow box at the dollar store and wanted a way to use it. I also bought the cheap acrylic paint to paint the outside there as well.

It started as a project for a Wow! Swap, but 39 of these would have killed me. It now hangs out at one of my schools to look pretty in the library.

Supplies :

Stamps - Dreams Du Jour, Pretty Petals.

Paper -Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, Whisper White cardstock, Parisian Breeze DSP.

Ink - Whisper white craft ink, Cameo coral, Baja Breeze.

Accessories - Big Shot, Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die, Stampin' Pastels, Dazzling Diamonds, Sponges, Blender pen, Dimensionals, SNAIL, Pretty in Pink 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, Corner Rounder Punch.
