I am missing crafting. I usually always finish what I've started...but I have a pile accumulating of unfinished projects. Simply haven't had the time I would like to devote to it! With that said, I made this crayon bg for the mix this past Friday. I used crayon shavings, heated with my heat gun and then smeared the colors around with a tissue. I repeated it until I liked the look. I decided to use this bg to make my card in honor of our featured stamper Catluvr2...she does beautiful work and I chose this card: MIX55 Stormy Reds by catluvr2 at Splitcoaststampers
Obviously, I changed the bg, the flourishes, the butterfly to a bird and the sentiment. Also, changed the direction the flourishes were going.
Enjoy your week!

WOW! That background is SUPER! I don't understand the crayon shavings technique, but I sure do like the results. I've never seen that little bird before - so sweet! You can probably tell from my gallery that I love color, so this BG is right up my alley. I have a lot of unfinished projects too (but no excuse for it). Thank you so much for finishing this one - I love it!

Pam, your card is amazing. I hear you when it comes to finding the time for crafting. So glad you found the time today, because this is a wonderful card in Priscilla's honor.
