Prismas and Butterflies

A bucketful of Prismacolor pencils...I love em!

Today's challenge on SCS was to make an ATC (artist trading card)....yeah, just like baseball cards! Now, I don't intend to trade any, in fact I'll no doubt make it into a regular card by just adding it to a layout.


And on StampTV yesterday, Gina demo'd Prismacolor pencils. Can you believe that sometimes I look at my pencils and think...hmmmm, I just don't have the right color!! *SHOCK*

Here is my sample for the ATC and Prismas....

Gina's "Take Flight", stamped on Pure Luxury cardstock (also from Gina, this stuff is dreamy!), colored with Prismas blended with baby oil, then given a coat of Versamark and clear embossing powder. Those pesky antennae can be difficult to cut around, so usually I just stamp again and mount my butterfly over it......and... normally I check to make sure everything is lined up..............OOPS...this one slipped! didn't see it until I got it up on the screen!

And the curved sentiment? No, it doesn't come that way! That's a trick I learned from the oh~so~talented Kim Hughes....with unmounteds you can bend them!

Have a wonderful day...........and Thanks for stopping!
