When I looked at today's IC472 Packaging Board challenge, I was looking for something that would let me get at least one more VSN challenge under my belt. So while I have bookmarked a gorgeous turquoise and orange creation, what I went with for today is the Pillow Boxes, the fourth image down. I really liked the solid colour at the bottom and the tone-on-tone stamping.
This is also for Stacy's Frozen With Sympathy challenge. I have Stickles on my butterfly, but also the water splashes are shimmery Perfect Pearls.
Embossed the frame, masked it and sponged the bottom. Stamped everything, brushed Perfect Pearls onto the splashes and added the butterfly to finish it off.
This was SO quick that even though I botched the first one (added Stickles to the flower centres, then forget they were wet and brushed Perfect Pearls on and smudged everything) I still had time to make this one within the one hour time limit.
You can STILL play along in the VSN challenges - the upload deadline is 10 pm Eastern time tomorrow, and there's a 6-month fan club membership/extension of your current membership as a prize for each challenge!

So very pretty. I love the water spots. I spilled my water at a scrapbook class long ago. It splattered on a ladies page and I almost had heart failure. To my surprise, she said, "I like that effect, thank you".

Sabrina, LOVE the look of your embossed frame - the bubbles of color look like they are emerging from your sponged bottom, and the tone on tone flowers look stunning, but not too overwhelming - a lovely sympathy card!!
