Celebration for FM209 & FMS186

Hey everyone!  It's my third week of being a guest designer over at The Friday Mashup and boy am I having a great time creating for the challenges!  This week we have a Crushed Curry, Bermuda Bay, Night of Navy color combo mashed up with celebrations.  I picked graduation for my celebration, since I always need so many of those cards this time of year.  

I also used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches 186.  

Thanks for taking a peek!

Muted Herringbone - FM51

Todays card is for The Friday Mashup #51.  This weeks challenge was to create a quilted card and use scraps that have been forgotten.  I just love this herringbone technique.  It is really fun to create and always gives stunning results.  I've had this patterned paper in my stash for a couple of years now and just havn't used it much.  I believe it's from K & Company.  I remember picking out in the store and thinking at the time that I could do so many things with it.  I guess that was not to be, because once I got it home it just sat.  The Friday Mashup Challenge was the perfect place to put this paper to use and I'm thrilled with the results!  For the finishing touch, I cut two little flowers from the Blossom Party die and misted them both with Champagne Shimmer mist.  This adds so much to any card.  I made my own shimmer mist by mixing 1 part shimmer paint to 2 parts rubbing alcohol.  I mixed them up in a little mister bottle and voila!  Champagne Shimmer mist!

Here are the supplies I used on this card....

Stamps: Card Chatter-Sympathy from Close To My Heart

Paper: DP from K & Company, Soft Suede, Vanilla

Ink: Soft Suede

Accessories: Blossom Party Die, Framelits die, Champagne Shimmer Mist, Half Pearl, Twine, Script EF
