Raspberry Roses

Hi All, I made this card with 3 challenges in mind.  City Crafter is looking to see Roses,
 Craft Hoarders Anonymous is looking for us to up-cycle something,
 and I used the sketch inspiration from sketch #26 at  Seize the Sketch.  
For the paper I used Gecko Galz Floral Symphony papers, printed the sentiment from Word.  The lace was an old faded pink from my stash that I dragged through some Vivid raspberry ink to get the right shade.  The up-cycled item is the Fleur de Lis, I bought a while back from Salvation Army thrift store for, it was a paint-able wallpaper border in its last life, I was sure I could make it into a card somehow.  I fussy cut this piece from the border as it was quite large, I love the texture on it.  I tried spraying it with Tattered Angels Glimmer mist but it did not grab the color that well so I then used some of the Vivid raspberry ink on it too..
Well, that's it for today, thanks for stopping by,  ~Diane

Paint it

 Hi All, I had so much fun making this tag for Tag Tuesdays prompt Africa and the City Crafters Challenge to "paint it ".  I am not much of a painter so I guess that's why I am so happy with my result.  I sprayed my tag with some Glitz Spritz just to get it wet and add some more shimmer, then I used my wet paint brush to paint on pink, yellow and blue Yasutomo paints, they already have some shimmer but last time I tried them they were really thick.  Wetting the tag was key to getting a light clean coat I think.  Both images were from the Graphics Fairy, I mounted the Zebra on some foam dots and added the blue jewels.  The black lines in the pale yellow ribbon are supposed to look like zebra print, lol.  I had fun getting out of my comfort zone and painting this tag.  So I will be entering this into *City Crafters Challenge Paint it Challenge.  Pop by and see all the beautiful work the DT has done over there.  That's it, thanks for stopping by.  ~Diane
