This plaque is for a mingle.....won't say which group, and don't know yet who is getting it, so it can remain a secret. Had fun making flowers from grungepaper. They were all done with different sizzix dies. The dragonflies and flourishes are from grungeboard. The sentiment is from a Wendy Vecchi set. The background paper is SU, and I paid attention to my friend Sherry and got some platinum stickles for highlights here are there. You were right, Sherry. The platinum stickles rock!
This shot is a little dark, but shows some of the dimensionality.
The plaque is supposed to inspire and motivate. I find the colors soothing. Is that the same as inspiring?
Very cool, and yes, it's INSPIRING and SOOTHING! Nice job, love the use of the Sizzix dies. Aren't they easy? Love 'em. Oh yeah, those platinum stickles are to die for..glad to see you caught the addiction too, lol. Love your choice of colors.

ReplyDeleteDid you see my latest blog post? When I was taking photos of my latest atc's, I noticed that I had 3 bottles of Platinum Stickles on the table! I had to laugh at myself *smiles*
No Sizzix die cut machine. No machine of ANY kind . . . YET! I'm waiting on Tim's new machine to come out and then I'll break down and make a purchase *insert big smiles here*
Love your piece here Eileen. And PS . . . got your sweet card in the mail yesterday :) Thanks my East Coast "peep"!
Great work, as usual. Love the flowers and dragonflies. Guess I will have to look into Sizzix dies. Have to be sure they work in Cuttlebug. Don't have room for 2 machines.
