Bling!

Hello! Well, I thought this posted last night, but I see it did not. So I'll try again....

I created this card (well, I was inspired by a card that I had made at one of Lisa Pretto's events a while back) for my Stampin' Up! upline and friend, Rene. Rene has been with SU for 10 years now, so she is having an anniversary party to celebrate that accomplishment. She asked a few of us to demonstrate at the party and I came up with demo'ing bling. So these fabulous little rhinestone jewels on each butterfly fit the bill perfectly. This is going to be my make and take card for the demo and I will have lots of other samples showcasing Stampin' Up!'s bling.

Hope you have a great week. It was a lovely day here in Wisconsin today, warm and the sun was shining. Ah, spring!

Keep crafting,
Audra

Playing Along with ColorQ

It has been a long time since I posted. Long story shortened.... I had some health issues (thyroid) that are hopefully better now. I feel a lot better, so that's what matters most to me. :)

I've been stalking this ColourQ blog: http://www.colourq.blogspot.com/ for a while now and have finally played along. You use their color combinations to make some art. Here are their colors:

And here's what I came up with. I also tried using the faux mother-of-pearl technique on the bashful blue piece. You can kind of see the shinyness in the close-up photo. Hope you like it. I enjoyed playing along!
