A couple of days ago I posted my Foundations Décor Floral Wood Butterfly . You have heard it before, I think outside the box! I kept looking at the butterfly and kept saying to myself something is missing.  This is a dimensional butterfly, it has a bare back.  The gears in my brain started churning, "what could I do without taking away from the stained wood?"    Add text, not just any text, butterfly related text.   One of my favorite themes is ALICE...  she has a conversation with a caterpillar... that was what lead to the text used for this project!         Supplies: Foundations Decor Wood Butterfly Clothes Pin Dixie Belle Van Dyke Glaze Metalic Rub on Adhesive Argyle Amber Florals Text Foundations Décor Floral Wood Butterfly Click on the above link to see how I stained the Foundations Decor Wood Butterfly  with  Dixie Belle ...

Hello and Happy Sunday from Jean. I love shiny things!   Glitter, embossing, metallics and FOILING! Speaking of Shiny things, we have a bright shiny winner this week!  But you have to read on.... I decided to use foil on some of the GSL Chip pieces for a dramatic effect. Here are two ways to apply foil,  first with any size double side tape Second, with a product like Duo which leaves a tacky residue when dry Pretty spectacular, right?   I added stamping with Delicata Silver Ink   plus Neon Pink Ink and a Diamond stamp, then wrote some letters with my white Uniball pen on black layering swatches , ready for a card or use as a gift tag.    DRUMROLL PLEASE MICHELE OF WASHINGTON STATE IS OUR GIVEAWAY WINNER FOR THIS PAST WEEK. CONGRATS...HERE IS WHAT YOU WILL GET... PLEASE send your mailing address to artsociates@gmail.com and we will mail it off to you!  Enjoy and share your finished project...
