Meeting a Friend
What a great week, as I got to meet a blogging friend. Vikki & I were born 3 days apart in different states, but have both lived in Oregon for many years.
It felt like we'd been friends forever & we will definitely get together again. We both love playing in the PTI challenges & sweet Vikki brought me a bunch of PTI tag die cuts--just what I needed for this week's MIM challenge. I sent Vikki some embossing enamels--hopefully they arrive in time for her to use.
Found a new color combo I really love: Royal Velvet, Winter Wisteria & Sweet Blush. The butterfly & sentiment are from PTI Butterfly Hope, the mat is PTI Mat Stack 3 & the background is Cover Up: Diamonds. Since I was finally using some Stampendous Embossing Enamel (shabby white), decided to also add it to the edges of the mat, using Versamark ink. I used a Quickie Glue pen before pouring the enamel onto the tag for my splatters--worked great. Some of the glitter also attached even without any adhesive or ink & I really love the look.
Finished off with white crochet thread wrapped & tied in a bow. May end up putting an Easter greeting inside as I need another card to mail. I'm playing just for fun at Mrs. A's Butterfly Challenge using lavendar & layers and at Double D. I'm entering HLS Anything Goes with Dies. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.

Aw, this is sweet! Butterflies and hope are a terrific combo for the Easter season. I almost thought my top inspired your card this week! LOL I'm so glad we could meet. 90 miles isn't too far when it's all interstate driving and we're retired.
ReplyDeleteI really like these shades together. They work well with each other and I like the result from adding the embossing enamel to the edges. Thankyou for coming and spinning the butterfly wheel.
