2nd non-winning MIFYH contest entry

This is my 2nd non-winning Make It From Your Heart contest entry. 

For this card, I played with the Wonderland B&Ts, and paired them up with the Remarkable Wreath and Christmas Love stamp sets.

I took my craft knife and trimmed around the little bird above the sentiment, and tucked a piece of 3D foam tape behind it to pop it up.

Then I added my mixture of Prisma Glitter and clear embossing powder to the bird.

And I stamped the white "berries" on the wreath with White Daisy pigment ink and sprinkled over it with the same Prisma Glitter/clear embossing powder mixture, too.

I'll be back tomorrow with another non-winner!

Happy creating!  :)

Inks:  Chocolate, White Daisy pigment, Versamark

This was actually the 1st of my projects I created for the contest.

I think she's pretty, even though she didn't win.  haha

(on a side note, she did win at the local fall fair in August)

I covered the zebra pattern B&T and the smaller heart shape with a mixture of Prisma Glitter and clear embossing powder for a litle extra ooh-la-la.  ;)

It's a new day... and some happy news!

It's amazing what the difference a day can make. As soon as I change the way I view my troubles, my outlook changes too. That is something I see more and more as I get older. Aging is not necessarily a bad thing... it seems to come with so much more perspective on life. I've been able to let things go much quicker than in the past and I can feel the weight literally lift off my shoulders when I let go the stuff that is bothering me or the things I can't change in life, whatever they may be. So today is a new day, with new promise... :)

I do have happy news today... I took first place in the Best Use of Color category on the Scrapbook and Share contest. To see all the winning artwork in each category, you can go to the Scrapbook and Share website. So that's the happy news I had to share. Thanks to all of you who took the time to vote! :)
