ONE more day

   The wait is almost over.  Tomorrow, August 1, is the day you have been waiting for,  Close To My Heart’s new Annual Inspirations book goes live to customers.   The name may have changed but it is still the same great product only more of it.  Included in the book are some great creating tips.  That is where I got the idea for the pixie(new color) feather.  The tip is laying baker’s twine between two layers of washi tape.  I used background and texture paper.  You cut out a feather shape and then make notches with scissors.  You can see how I did this with the feather.  The green feather, I cut the feather shape out of Pear cardstock, ran it through my cuttlebug using the chevron embossing folder, and then used a sanding block to expose some of the  white core.

  For the feather paper, I random stamped the feather and then colored with Close To My Heart’s new ShinHanart alcohol markers.  I also used the markers to alter the silver sequins(new) to the colors I used on the feathers.  I only have three of these markers and can’t wait to get more.
