SHOPPING OUR STASH #390 - Fabulous February


 Good morning and Happy Tuesday crafty peeps!
We have a fun challenge starting today at
Mimi is your hostess this fortnight, and she's challenged us to create something
inspired by February's stone (amethyst), or February's flowers (iris and violet)!

 A few days ago, I posted about this card using this tutorial to create a background.
Well, I just happened to make a couple more panels using another
stencil and different colors of powder dyes. Since one of the dyes happened
to be violet, I figured I could use these for my cards.


Here's my first card:
 

and the inside:

I broke out some ancient ribbon that matched pretty well with my card base color.
The butterfly receive a heavy coating of my Wink of Stella pen.
I tried to get a picture of all the sparkly goodness:
 

 Since I had two panels, I made another card:




and the inside:

I experimented with spritzing the back sides of the vellum wings with some 
turquoise shimmer spray, and I really like the effect! As with the butterfly, this cute faerie
 was equally coated with my WOS pen.

I hope you get some time to join in our Fabulous February challenge
at Shopping Our Stash! We'd love to see how you interpret it on your projects.
Thanks for visiting, and I hope you have a great day!
