Technique Tuesday: Marble Background

This technique looks so cool... it actually looks like marble.   Where do we come up with this stuff?  I don't know, but I like it..  This would be nice for the background on a "masculine" card.

I made this card for my Color Combo Challenge series, but I realized it can also be a card for my Stamping with Scraps series.  I used the Blossom Petals Builder punch to create the tops of the candles.

This my card for Lilly's 60th Birthday Card.  I used transparency paper for the strips for the 60 and the hearts and stars.

Throwback Thursday: Stipple Butterfly with Hershey Kisses Wrapper

This was a card I made at a stamping class many years ago.  We used the Stampin' Up! Stipple Butterfly stamp set and Hershey Kisses wrappers.  Yes, the little foil wrappers around kisses make up the butterfly colors.  We stamped the butterfly on transparency paper using Stazon Ink, we put Crystal Effects on the reverse side of the transparency paper and layered with colored Hershey Kisses wrappers staying within the outside line of the butterfly.  Let it dry and WOW!
