Unscripted Fluttering

Here is my card idea for the Unscripted sketch today. I really like Stampin' Up!s new In Color Rich Razzleberry even if I can't quite seem to capture it with the camera.

This is a standard 4-1/4"x5-1/2" card.

• colors are Stampin' Up!'s pale plum, rich razzleberry, whisper white, certainly celery
• stamp set is Stampin' Up!'s "Dreams du Jour"
• accessories are Dazzling Diamonds glitter adhered on a trail of Tombow multi-adhesive, Rich Razzleberry polka-dot ribbon, and a Stampin' dimensional to pop up the cut out butterfly

To get the ribbon effect, I put a couple small pieces of sticky strip on the edge of the panel, scrunched up the ribbon and stuck it on. This picture isn't great, but you can get the idea.

You can play along, too. Just visit Unscripted Sketches for the sketch and some inspiration by their design team.

Tomorrow I have another nugget purse gift idea to share.

Thanks for stopping by (again)!

We're All Abuzz

Today I have a quick post with my mojomonday creation. Um, yes, I realize it is Thursday. If you have a chance to play along this week there is a prize!
This is my first use of Rich Razzleberry, on of the new In Colors, and I love it! That lighter color is pale plum (not a favorite of mine) and it looks fabulous paired with the razzleberry. Once I saw those colors together, I knew I didn't want to add anything but white. So here's how it went together:

• the dove and message are from Special Blessings, both stamped in Rich Razzleberry on whisper white
• the narrow printed strip is actually the dove stamped repeatedly in pale plum then trimmed into shape
• white craft ink and the branch stamp from Strength and Refuge make up the larger pattern paper
• running the pale plum background through the Big Shot with a texturz plate gives a subtle backdrop
• a single flower from the 3-flower punch with a rhinestone brad center make a perfect accessory
• the card base is Rich Razzleberry in a standard A2 size (4-1/4"x5-1/2")
  

But the card is not what has my family buzzing. We are headed out of town for a long weekend and then my boys will go on to spend the week with Grandma and Grandpa. So if you have a bad moment anytime in the next few days, just remember you could be with my family in a mini-van that will log about 1700 miles in the next 10 days!

There may be a couple days when my email replies are slower. But all-in-all there should not be a big difference. I just hope our yard, garden, and pets hold on while we are gone because it is supposed to be 100-degrees (or more)!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! Tasha
