Just Add….

Shimmer Mist.  When I saw what my friend and downline Shirley(you must check out her owls)  had done with the Just Add Ink Challenge 36, I thought I had better take a look at the sketch.  My interpretation of the sketch is very literal but I knew immediately that I wanted to try a technique that we are learned at the Brisbane Regionals using Shimmer Mist and re-inkers.

I have used the new technique on my butterflies.  I mixed some Champagne Shimmer Mist and some Pretty in Pink reinker in an old  brad container that I had.  Then I used a sponge dauber to apply the ink to the All a Flutter butterfly.  Not too thickly or it will go into the crevices and not leave a nice impression.  Then I stamped onto Whisper White card and cut them out.  You probably cannot see it but they are all shimmery and just gorgeous in real life. I punched one edge of Wild Wasabi cardstock using the new Scallop Trim Border punch.  I layered a piece of Chocolate Chip card which I had run through the Big Shot using the Elegant Lines embossing folder on top.  I tied a length of Pretty in Pink 1/4″ grosgrain ribbon around these two pieces of card.  Then I layered the Wild Wasabi/Chocolate Chip piece onto the left hand side of  Whisper  White card.  I added the butterflies using dimensionals under the wings and SNAIL in the centre of the butterfly.  This makes the wings “lift” a little.  The greeting is from Three Little Words and I stamped this using my stamp-a-ma-jig and Chocolate Chip ink.  Lastly I added 3 of the new Basic Pearls into the circles created in the Chocolate Chip card by the Elegant Lines Embossing folder.

What do you think?  I love it. 

Bye for now, Kris.
