Another Foiled Magnet

By now you know I love using foil with self adhesive fun foam.  Couldn't resist adding another color of foil to my stash--pewter.  When it arrived I thought I made a mistake, but oh my goodness--it's wonderful!  You might think it's silver, but it's darker & very elegant.  It will also be great for masculine cards.

I've been wanting to frame a picture from my meeting with Darnell last year & finally did it. The cute blossoms from Uniko Flower Power #7 are stamped in PTI Spring Rain & Enchanted Evening.  I covered them with Diamond Glaze giving a clear dimension.  They were too light, so I added faded jeans Distress Stickles & pearl centers. The vellum leaves are by 4enScrap & the friends die cut is PTI inked in Enchanted Evening & covered with WOS. It's now in the place of honor on my fridge!  I'm entering these challenges: Uniko, CropStop, Double D & SSS Wednesday. 
 

Thought I'd leave you with pictures of my first roses to bloom--very early this year. Thanks so much for taking time to visit my blog.

A Card & A Magnet

I love the PTI Create Along with Us challenges during release weeks.  There's never a lack of inspiration, that's for sure!  I needed to make a card for my sister as one of her best friends just lost her 22 yr old son in a car accident.  They no longer live in the same state. I know my sister is heartbroken & feels so helpless not to be able to give her friend a hug in person.  
Maile's one layer card is simple & beautiful--perfect for what I wanted to make.  My first thought was to use a rose image, but changed my mind to the lovely ferns from PTI Meadow Greens.  

The Rock n Roll technique was done with Limeade Ice & Simply Chartreuse.  The sentiment is from Wonderful Words: Hello & is stamped in Ripe Avacado.  I added some little splatters & rounded the corners for softness.  I'm also entering the CAS challenge at ATSM, AAA Cards, & One Layer Simplicity.

Next is my entry for the April Memory Box Challenge--Anything But a Card.  I collect magnets & it's fun to make them, too.  

The Sizzix frame was cut from self-adhesive fun foam & cardstock.  The frame was foiled & the background was stamped with a Flourishes sentiment & Magenta splatter stamp.  The MB Moonlight Butterfly was also cut from the foam & covered with Elizabeth Craft Cool Highlights glitter.  Decided to bling it up with clear gems & a plastic floral sticker.  

I picked up the MB Arianna Sprig die in a sale not too long ago & I love it!  I foiled the intricate blossom, same as the frame, & cut off the leaf so I could attach it where I wanted. For the life of me I couldn't find my magnet strip, but I saved one that came in the mail, so used that. Really fun project that will make a nice little gift for someone.  I'm also entering Word Art Wednesday.   Thanks so much for stopping by my blog.
