NBUS and Fun News to Share

One of my favorite challenges to play in is at Scrapy Land, because if you win you get a $15 gift certificate to use to pick out more dies. I have admitted in the past and am still addicted to buying dies. The challenge this time at Scrapy Land is Anything Goes as long as you use a die from one of the many companies they sell for. I used my favorite new die on this card from Poppy Stamps called Floral Frame.

I am happy to share that I have been picked to be a Guest Designer on the Scrapy Land blog from April to July. For this month, I can still participate in the challenges there. I am also entering this card in the NBUS challenge here.

 I was playing with my Color Burst for a class on backgrounds I am going to be teaching and this is the card I came up with. I embossed the watercolor paper with a crackled embossing folder from We R Memory Keepers before and after sprinkling on bright Color Burst Colors and spritzing with gold iridescent Glimmer Mist. The gold shows up much better IRL in the embossed lines. After it was dry, I attached Poppy Stamp's beautiful die and a punched butterfly, then added Tonic Nuvo Glitter Drops and Crystal Drops. I like to add a strip of the beautiful CB paper in the inside of the card:

Hope you have a bright, colorful and happy day!
