Wow! This was a labor of pure love, Lisa, and it shows. The purple and green color combination is beautiful. The techniques you applied are so creative and fun to look at! Loved hearing about the goodies from your friends, too. Still praying for sweet little Abby and hope she's recuperating well today. Hugs to you both!
All I can think when I see her is I'm getting me one of those little cuties, even if dh doesn't like little dogs!! She is so darn cute. This layout is gorgeous. Love the tears and stitching.
SUPER layout, Lisa. I love the way you tore and cut the center layer mat. The stitching is great, and I love the torn hole mat. All the inking, misting, and stickles just kick everything up a notch. Great combination of challenges here!
Very pretty LO! I love the colors and how you tore the green cs and put the title in there! All the flowers and bling look great! Your puppy is just darling!!!
This is another photo of Abigail the day after I got her (the date, April 10, 2007, is written in gold pen to the bottom right of the pic). In this one, she's tired out from playing and ready for a nap. She's 9 weeks old.
For this LO, I was inspired by some of the techniques used lately by my talented friend Rebecca (byondbzr). The LO is much more truly purple IRL -- I couldn't completely get rid of the blue cast in editing.
This is for: 1. No Patterned Paper and 2. Use Your Supplies Week 1 ~ Cardstock (3 colors of cardstock and a twist to alter at least one of them). I sprayed the green cs with Olive Vine Glimmer Mist. I cut the leaves/flourishes out of black cs with my Cricut and sprayed them with Slate Glimmer Mist. The shaped paper started out as white cs. I used Dusty Concord and Shabby Shutters Distress Inks, water, and Fully Purple Glimmer Mist to make the front. I then tore it in the shape I wanted, tore the hole for the pic, and sprayed the back with Olive Vine GM so the green would show when I rolled the paper. Also for: 3. Pet Challenge 4. Flowers & Bling. I have 3 flowers, and lots of bling: GM's, gems, pearls, Stickles, glitter letters, and the beaded stick pin. I also did the twist to include a bird -- it's the purple partridge over the stamped clock. 5. VLB - Stickles/glitter. I used 3 colors of stickles as part of the black flower center, and glitter letters for the title.
I received the green felt flower, purple fabric flower and stick pin in a RAK from KarenW -- she handmade the purple flower and stick pin. The Maya Road raw chipboard wings and the large gem were from Mandy (craftysprinkles) in a couple different RAKs. Thank you so much, Ladies!
I sprayed (soaked actually) the wings with Olive Vine and Sweet Clover GM, and used Glossy Accents to attach the gem to the center. I used tiny alpha stickers inked with Milled Lavender Distress Ink to add Abigail's name, and covered that with Crackle Accents. I made the black, purple and green flower out of some of my favorite ribbon left over from when I made one of Cassie's old costumes. I used various gems, pearls, and blobs of Stickles to make the center. The clock is stamped with Peeled Paint Distress Ink. I did some distressed machine stitching around the edge and did the lacing with embroidery floss.
