My craft room is set up with one very small corner for my husband...or whoever wants to visit. He stops by occasionally to have a cup of coffee or play a game on his laptop. Last week, I was doing what I do best...shopping on line when he came to visit. I was looking at the Sizzix line when he asked me about the Sizzix Love Letters. I told him I already had those and he asked me if I used them...well...NO...not yet. I guess I was feeling kinda guilty so I thought I would put them to use and I cut the letters out. They have laid around for more than a week, but I must have picked them up a zillion times to "do something" with them. I would start something and my mind would go blank so I would set them aside. I was spending WAY to much time with these and was getting SO tired of looking at them that I decided TODAY is the day, I was going to do something with them right or wrong and be done with them once and for all! So here it is---
I stamped the Inkadinkadoo butterfly image twice on designer paper then heat embossed them using silver embossing powder. I cut one of the butterflies out and pop dotted it on the image that I cut out and layered on a circle/scallop Nestibility that I used a gel pen to dot the scallops. I added a ribbon knot and put that on a piece of designer paper and put in on the background layer. The letters were cut from Sizzix Love Letters twice offset them to give a shadow effect, put them on a piece of designer paper then on a band and adhered it it the background layer. There...I'm done with it, I don't have to look at it anymore and now can play with the order I received yesterday!
