More is More

Just a quick post as I am running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to get ready for my little luncheon tomorrow.  What on earth was I thinking when I said 11:30?  Certainly I didn’t forget that I’m NOT a morning person!  LOL!  I’m sure it will all come together. 

Anyway I wanted to take a minute to share the Elzybells card I managed to finish yesterday despite not completing my to-do list.  This was just a fun *play* card and I fit it into one of the Mini VSN Challenges at SCS.  So who can tell me which challenge it fits?

This card started out with the piece of Orchid cardstock laying on my table with a scallop oval punched out of it – used on the last card I posted.  I folded that piece in half and just worked from there.  It wasn’t as big as a standard card so I mounted it onto a piece of Regal Rose that had been stamped with Paisley tone on tone.  The Elzy chick image is mounted inside the card so it shows through the scallop *window*

On the Barely Banana layer I cut out an oval with my coluzzle and then ran it through my Cuttlebug with a new embossing folder.  I wanted to highlight the embossed pattern so I went over it with white craft ink with a sponge dauber.  Then I got the idea to go over that white ink with the shimmer chalks I absolutley had to have but hardly ever use.  I think it gave a fun result and it’s nice and shimmery in person.  I colored the chick image with the same chalks using a blender pen.  I added some liquid pearls – the old fashioned fabric painting version – and some rose satin ribbon from Fabric Barn.  And there you have it.

I need to get to bed so I can get up early and finish getting everything ready for company.  Hope you have a happy Friday.  Thanks for stopping by.
