Tuesday and a contest

OK, I admit, my creativity is about non-existent when it comes to my blog titles.     Before I get to my Try it out Tuesday post today, I’d like to mention some fun blog candy that my friend Betty is offering!  Betty and I became friends when I first started stamping and blogging – we were on the Our Daily Bread designs team together.  Betty also was my very first customer when I started designing blog banners!  Now, a year later, she has come up with a really fun idea to celebrate her Blogaversary.  While I’m not really in the banner design business any more (just no time since I started back to work) I am very excited to be part of her Blogaversary celebration. I really enjoy creating banners and still do them as I find time.

Betty is offering up a blog banner designed by me.  But, it’s a challenge…you need to create a card reflecting how you’d like your banner to look and submit it to her blog via Mr. Linky

Read all about it HERE on Betty’s Blog!

And now for my Try It Out Tuesday Post… This week we were challenged to use FlowerSoft on our cards. I used this sweet Elisabeth Bell image – Danni. I colored her with Copic markers and used my pastels to stencil some clouds behind her. For the bottom die cut, I used the Spades pendant, then I cut Danni out with the Labels #4 die. I used some @You Copic glitter pens on the butterflies, and some sugar sparkly fluff for the dandelion seeds. Danni is standing in a bed of Fuschia FlowerSoft.

Here’s a close up where you can see the sparkly fluff and the glittery butterflies!!   Oh… and those ribbon roses….I got a lot of emails about how I made them on my last post.  And here they are again.  I just got a new iPod Nano with the video camera, so I’m hoping to have a little video tutorial on how to make these real soon…so check back.

Be sure to stop by the rest of the teams blogs and see what they’ve made today using FlowerSoft.  You’ll find all their links in my sidebar under the SCACD Blinkie!!

Hugs, Jami
