Friends are The Sunshine of Life

I am guest design today at the Crop Stop blog,
here is my card I made.

I made a bright and cheerful card today thinking as cold and dreary

as it is here in Michigan, it just might perk me up!

I started with a favorite product of mine

Ken Oliver Color Burst.

I first misted water on my card stock,

then tapped the bottles onto the wet card stock.

I added a bit more water to get a bit more design.

You want to be a bit light on the water, so you don't end up 'muddying" the colors.

Also a warning, these color bursts can be a bit addictive!

I used Lemon Yellow and Orange.

I then used a Poppystamps Velvet Blossoms die to cut out my flowers.

Once dry I did another fun trick to the flowers.

take a container, add some glue and a bit of water from your 

water brush, stir it around then 'flick' it on your flowers,

then add Wow Glitter, I used Tangerine.

To finish the flowers I added Black Flower Soft to the centers.

I embossed a white card stock panel with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder,

added a Tim Holtz bird cage die cut

and Creative Expressions Finishing Touches  Petite  Vinery.

The butterfly is from Memory Box

and the sentiment is Stampendous.

I added a bit of twine to finish.
