Hello! I told you I would be back. I have been waiting to share a few things with you all. One of them is that I will be guest designing for the month of December at
Layers of Color. The very sweet and talented
Laura asked me to design some cards using her wonderful stamps. I totally fell in love with the beautiful butterflies from
Butterfly Collector.
I used a technique for this card I saw on
Beate's blog at Splitcoast stampers. This is called the dryer sheet technique. I stamped my image and colored it with Copics then adhered a used dryer sheet and rubbed glitter all over the image. It really softens the image wonderfully.
I used some Basic Grey Capella paper I have been hoarding for a few weeks now along with some lace and distressed seam binding from Memrie Mare Etsy. The Spellbinders dies are Labels 10. A little machine stitching and a button make up all the shabby details.
I am honored to be featured along with her very talented designers. You can take a look
HERE and there is a link to all the fabulous blogs of her designers. Thank you Laura for this opportunity.

How beautiful, Heather! All your elements with this super technique make for another stunning creation! I admit I have thought of trying the dryer sheet thing MANY times before. I'll collect a stack of sheets, I get tired of looking at them, I throw them out! Maybe this will be the time it will STICK!
ReplyDeleteHope things have settled since your move and no more spider discoveries!
