Sunday Stamper - Week 203 - Little Red Corvette

What a difficult week this has been.  My mojo hasn't just gone, it's packed it's bags & left the country!  I seem to have just spent the week staring at bits of paper & card, making a little something then chucking that little something!  Not only that, I have totally ruined a project I was working on right at the very end.  Is it just me or does anyone else have these blips?  Answers on a postcard please!!  Anyway, apologies but this is my entry for this week...


 Firstly I coloured a piece of white BasicGrey card with barn door & festive berries DI's then edged the card with a little walnut stain.  I overstamped lightly with a PaperArtsy script stamp & flourish with smokey gray Versafine ink.  Sprayed the piece with a splattering of  worn lipstick (re-inker) & dried.  I cut the frame with my trusty Silhouette (I have to keep on the right side of it or else!) & adhered to the red card. Then I made a dozen different embellishments that were rubbish & opted for the butterfly cut from the Silhouette. The base of it was stamped with the PaperArtsy script then coloured with walnut stain & sprayed with heirloom gold Perfect Pearls. The upper part was stamped with the script.  I added a brass key to the centre of the butterfly. Lastly I stamped a PaperArtsy word (FLY) on a scrap of TH kraft card & attached it behind a TH ornate plate. Phew! I must learn to make these posts shorter.

  4. Hi Sue - Lovely to meet you today and I love your Sunday Stamper entry- and yes I certainly do get blips where something gets-'spoiled right at the end'!They are supposed to be 'happy accidents'but it doesn't always work like that!
