HAPPY BIRTHDAY
TMS!!!!!!!!! what a fun month this will be! theres great sketches to play along with plus great prizes.. who doesnt like that!
last october melissa invited me to be a guest designer for TMS, i was so honored as they were having a celebration for melissas' sister theresa for being cancer free!!!YAY !!!!!!!!!!!! how awesome to be invited along to join in with that celebration :) i was also very flattered that melissa chose me to play with her awesome sketches. i LOVE her sketches. be sure to go check them out. this month is chok full of past guest designers so be sure to get on over there and see what the designers create along with the usual DT.
melissa asked us to pick our favorite sketch, i chose the first sketch i did of hers( #14). its hard to choose just one favorite but this really is one of my all time faves.
for this card i used my cricut and storybook (leaves/fancycorners) and walk in my garden (flowers) cartridges. i hand stitched and added martha stewart punch butterflies, kaiserkraft pearls and colorbox fluid chalk. the gorgeous paper is basic grey capella. what a gorgeous pack of paper this is!
ok so go on leave me a wonderful comment lol then go have some fun at TMS :) thanks so much for stopping by XXXshelly

happy saturday :) hope youre having a great weekend! i am :)
this card is for TMS . I love Melissas sketches ! its been a tough year so i havent had time to play along with the sketch challenges i so love, but things are getting back to normal for a little while anyways. ill be moving soon so lets see how organized i can stay :)
for my take on her sketch i used my cricut and george (heart) and jasmine ( my love and corners) cartridges. i used the utee/cracked glass effect on the heart. first i cut it out, then used a heart stamp on it then uteed (ultra thick embossing enamel) it .
DIRECTIONS: all you do is apply versamark over your image, add utee over that, heat emboss it. let it cool for a minute or so, do this process 3 or 4 times. then pop it in your freezer for about 20 minutes. take it out and bend your image , not too hard see how it breaks...do this at different angles, wherever you want the look to appear. if a piece breaks off just go reheat it the be a bit gentler next time :) then take a dye based ink ( i like tim holtz distress inks for this) and rub it over your image. then take a paper towel and wipe off the ink. it will settle into the cracks. neat eh :)
my extras include colorbox fluid chalk, basic grey pearls, a metal key. paper is webster pages.
thanks a million for stopping by. love reading your comments :) see ya on your blog :) XXXshelly
