A New Challenge At Dilly Beans

Another Week and another Challenge over at Dilly Beans Digital Stamps. And what a fun Challenge this will be. We would like to see Shades of Red And Black. Now that Christmas is past it is time to look to the next holiday I guess and that would be Valentines Day. And if it is too soon to start thinking of that, Red and Black are great colors for an elegant winter card, anniversary card or a fun Birthday card, or any other project.
For my card today I used some fun textures and some Bo Bunny papers. The image is Megan's #266  Zombie Cupid.

A Quick Post

I just wanted to stop by really quick to share a card that I made the other night. I was looking for an embellishment for a project the other day and came across this set of Rhinestone Clusters and loved the colors. So I pulled out some papers that I had altered a while back that would match and then I dug through my printed images on my desk ad this is what I came up with while I watched NCIS. It was fun and it was not a Christmas card. In fact I think I just finished up my last Christmas Card for the year. I will miss them.
So anyway for my card today I grabbed these yummy two images by Megan over at Dilly Bean Digis and printed them out together. I painted on some Goosebumps on the background and then painted on some glitter mist, an interesting effect. the papers that I used for the flowers and the piece under that I made a very long time ago using acrylic paint and water sloped onto freezer paper and then I took glossy paper and put it face down in the paint and then pulled it up. I did it until I liked the look.
 Isn't this cool? I took a piece of glitter paper from Wall Mart cut a strip and then sprayed it with a couple colors of Pearl Mist to create this and then the piece behind is from a piece of beaded card stock that I have been hording for a little while. Again I sprayed it with glimmer Mist.
 A nice little close-up for ya.
I think this will make a great Valentines for someone.
I hope you all have a great day.
