Alota Sweet Ballerina Bug/tutorial on Faux handmade Dpaper

This card was designed for todays TLC Faux Handmade backgrounds. On my card I used this darling Sweeet Ballerina Bug from Alota Rubber Stamps

Here is a mini Tutorial on how I did my background.
first I used Paint Dabbers. (they said toilet paper) I used that too, but at the end of each step!

First I dabbed on blue, after it was dabbed on I took toilet paper and dabbed a little just to blend it down :)


Next I dabbed on pink. Some thing with the toilet paper to blend it down.
Last I dabbed on Pearl. You can see it in this picture below, and of course I just had to make two :)

This technique is simple and fast, dont let the fact that you are working with paints discourage you from try'n this. Honestly this card took less that 30 minutes to make. Of course the image was already colored and waiting:) LOL


Here my card is all done! I did add a feather , flowers, gems, and ribbon!!!!
Thank you for looking and have a wonderful day!!!

Post-it Notebook Tutorial/SCS IC184 Challenge

This notebook was made for todays Inspiration Challenge on SCS. I wanted to show you a little tutorial on how to make this.
I used the cardboard that comes with your dp book I will always use the front and back of those. (just run through your machine with whatever shape you wante)
Next I started airbrushing the front with different shades of blue!

Here Ive used 3 colors

Ive used four in this picture

Total shades of blue are 5

Now you are ready to spray a frame on the inside.

Next I punched holes in the top part of the front cover. ( I then matched the back up to the front and punched again, that way your holes match!)
Now you are ready to line the inside
Add your Post it with double sided sticky tape

Decorate the front , and then add your ribbon starting at one end and dont double tie them yet, that way you have room to work and figure out how tight you want to tie them.
anther picture showing how to run the ribbon through to make it easy on you:) (start at the back and then bring to the front cover ) :)
this is my inside done, I didnt have time to add Thank you Beary Much on the inside! :( We are leaving for the parade that my daughter is in shortly :)
Ok I just had to show you this pic I took awhile back of Boooters resting in my mess!!!!LOL

And here is the post-it Notebook all done!!!
Bear image can be found here at: Angels Landing
