Summer Camp butterflies



I was so excited to win a spot at Summer Camp 2011 from Mariana Grigsby's Blog! This week we are working with the above colors. I love seeing what everyone creates using these colors but find when I have more than three colors I freeze up. I decided to just see what I came up with. I stared watching Jennifer's video that had white embossed flowers which gave me a starting point. I white embossed the butterfly panel, by Magenta and then colored with Memento markers. Next I embossed the butterflies with clear powder then I used tumbled glass distressed ink over the panel. The background was stamped with Hero Arts chalk ink in Poppy, and the PP is from my stash. I still find it difficult to take photo's when there is embossed images. Have a great Tuesday!

Inspiration challenge

This is my entry for the Lily pads Inspirations Challenge #2, I am inspired by the way Kathy uses her white pen to add details to her images. I love how she creates a totally different look with the white pen. I don't think I quite achieved the same look, but I plan on using it more often. I had a few different brands, and found that either they were dried up, or just did not run smoothly on the images. Do any of you have any favorite brands? I think I need to get a new one! The floral image is from Magenta, the dotted background is from Hero Arts, and the image is colored with copic markers.  Hope you had a great Monday!

Magenta dragonfly

I love paper piecing, especially with the wonderful papers that Memory Box designs, this week I am using the Minuet paper pack. It has some gorgeous blues, greens and butterfly patterns. The stamp and sentiment are both from Magenta.

Today, we are back to School, and the routine again, it has been nice not having to alter Lainey's sleeping to pick up Owen from school. Although it is hard to believe just two full months left of the school year, and summer will be here before we know it! Have a great Monday!
