Well, we're down to the final days of the Dare to Get Dirty challenges. All of them are announced and we have until Monday, 8/6 to post them. I didn't get even half of them done, but I did get a few of them accomplished. I do want to try Lydia's last one, just to play with that technique. It's right up my alley in the messy department!

Jennifer, that paper embroidery is so cool! That is like high tech hand stitching!!! Love those pretty glass beads! They look amazing on your tassels! I have not tried the shaving cream technique, but you have me intriqued!!! Another awesome card!!!

I'd have thought the shaving cream qualified for Lydia's too . I wish I'd thought of that -I love the smell afterwards.
It combines so well with your wonderful stitching, too.
Her technique did look cool, didn't it!!

I can't imagine how long it took to create this card with the soft shaving cream background and all the paper embroidery. It must be hours. It's so striking. Thanks so much for sharing. You're always and inspiration.

WOW Jennifer, this is so pretty. I love the coloured background and the frames. I haven't tried that technique for so long. Must give it a go after seeing yours.
