Sitting Pretty!!!

Hello Peeps!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Here is a card I made a few weeks ago for a friend. I used the new Spellbinders Eyelet Pendant die...how do you like it? It was a little hard getting it out of the die because of all the cuts but I finally got the hang of it & so now it's a little easier. I'm not real happy with this card, now that I look at it I think I need to add more layers & do something different with that left bottom corner...oh well, next time! My friend liked it so that's what counts right?

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Smackin' Acetate Technique

Good afternoon peeps!

Well I won't be going to the cape after all, the weather is too cloudy & we're afraid we will get caught in the rain later so hopefully we will go next week if the weather co-operates...sheesh!!! Oh well such is life, hah?

I started this card last weekend & then I saw Gina K's StampTV video on this kool technique called "Smackin' Acetate" & decided to give it a try on this card. It took a few tries to get it the way I was at least happy with it, it's not perfect but it looks good (you should see the ones I threw out) & I'm happy with it. I will use this technique again sometime...it was fun! If you want to give it a try click here for Gina's video & be prepared to have some fun!

I think I'm going to break down & get me some copics for skin tones, after I uploaded this picture to my blog her face looks so pale & needs more defined color. What colors should I buy for skin tones & cheeks? Let me know what you think, I really would like your feed back on what to do about the faces.
