This is my last post for today ... promise!! I know I've been invading your space, but I LOve Winnie & Walter, and every one of the Birthday Bash Challenges!
You may wonder about my blogpost title: A tale of two Ks... Kerren Baker, and Kelly Griglione have Two different Challenges: Off the Page ... and Stencil! You must run over to see their beautiful creations!!! for some reason Blogger isn't playing nice with copy/paste today!
I've combined those two Challenges, and created one card that fits both ... ready? First a close-up so you can see the acetate addition, and my favorite way of using W&W's Creative Screenings - a.k.a. stencils.
Inside: "SO colorful!"
was dry-embossed onto my cardstock,
and those darling butterflies, and my tag, are from
see how they magically change color as they leave the page!?
Another perfect word: Friend[s] from
I hope it's okay with you girls that I've combined your Challenges ... both wonderful - but I think you play cards beautifully together! xx

You have had a lot of fun playing cards lately! I LOVE the gray on gray and the touch of pink on the butterflies. This is just amazing design!! LOVE!!
ReplyDeleteAck! Michele!!! Your card is gorgeous with the tone on tone and layers, yes. Your card is clever with using the stencil not for ink, but for dry embossing, yes.
