Moments

The colour challenge at Splitcoaststampers today is called Pink Pool in the Meadow. I wanted to do something different but it seems I am missing products I need for some of the techniques I want to try. I decided that I would give Loll Thompson's Faux Mother of Pearl technique a try, but I was missing the Acrylic Frost Paint, so I opted to use Fresco Finish instead. Loll uses plastic wrap to apply the paint, but I have a heavy hand, so I used my duster brush. I first brushed on the shabby shutters ink to my duster, then dipped in the Fresco Finish to apply to my cardstock. Once dry, I sponged on the evergreen and worn lipstick. For my butterfly I sponged shabby shutters on some cardstock, then die cut and stamped my butterfly using the evergreen ink. I then applied the Fresco Finish to the entire butterfly for some more shine. To put my card together, I used stitched border dies on my background piece, did some white matting with one piece being long enough for my sentiment, which I stamped in the evergreen. I styled my butterfly before attaching, and added some sequins and crystals to finish. Thanks for having a look.
