Stampin' Fancy Friday - Shaking It Challenge

I played around with the beautiful Peaceful Poppies Suite. I made a watercolor piece using the Pigment Sprinkles in Melon Mambo and Mango Melody, which turns into a pretty coral-red shade. I cut out the patterned die twice to cover the panel. I used the Peaceful Poppies Sequins and the Foam Adhesive Strips to build my shaker piece with. I also backed it with Vellum Cardstock, which makes the sequins inside stand out a bit more.

Fancy Friday - No White Challenge!

Hello and welcome back! It's time for this month's Fancy Friday Blog Hop. I'm here with my fancy friends (all current or former members of the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team). This month the theme is “No White Challenge”! We were to make a project without using any white! Well, I think we may have been able to use white embossing powder, but you're in for a very colorful hop. We also have a Pinterest board that you can follow. You might have just arrived from my wonderful friend Sue. I'm sure you loved her colorful project!

I decided to start with the Shine Bright Bundle again and the Wrapped In Plaid 6" X 6" Specialty Designer Series Paper with golf foil accents. I love plaid paper! If you've been around this blog for very long, you probably already know that. And, I love the detail in the Stitched Brightly Dies, as they do all of the work for you.
