Today I'd like to welcome you all to Fussy and Fancy's first challenge of 2015!!!
Now this is not actually my challenge to post for but we have a FABULOUS new sponsor and our oh so TALENTED Norma has chosen the most perfect theme...well I just had to ask if I could play along!!
Okay so our sponsor is Aurora Wings...YAY...and as you will have guessed from my post title Norma's wonderful theme is "Swirls and Pearls"!!!
I have always loved Aurora Wings images...they are so BEAUTIFUL and intricate!!! I have to say that I was a bit intimidated as the images are stand alone GORGEOUS and wasn't sure if I could do one justice but they just pulled at me and I couldn't resist a go...coupled with Norma's theme and here I am!!!
So here is "Eye Butterfly-Butterfly Mask" by Aurora Wings...
please click on the first image for a closer view/slideshow...
I coloured this GORGEOUS image with my Prismas...
dusted the edges with a tiny bit of Frantage...
Thank You sentiment is from Hero Arts and cut out using Spellbinders Small Banners die...
mounted it on a cheesecloth backing...
added swirls of pearls and a stick pin with ribbon, Shabby Seam Binding and butterfly charm...
closer view...
this beautiful stick pin comes with the crystal top and gorgeous mauve stone...
the side of the card is embossed using a Cuttlebug swirl edge folder...
decorated with pearls and thin ribbon...
the sentiment and floral wreath is Hero Arts...
the white paper is Bazzil that is already embossed with swirls (bit hard to see in this photo)...
closer view of the side embossed...
So that is my first play with a GORGEOUS Aurora Wings digi image!!! You have to hop on over to Fussy and Fancy to check out the STUNNING creations that my fabulous team mates have come up with and then it's your turn to dazzle us!!!!
Now before I finish off this post I just wanted to share a photo of my DARLING new Grandson Max!!! Mommy sent this to me and said that I could share this with my blogging friends...some of you have asked about a pic so I present to you Max Charles Brovold!!
My Daughter-in-law Natalie has dubbed this pic "Judgy Max" as he was giving her attitude at just 4 weeks old!! While his brother Quinn is a blonde and fair skinned our Max is dark haired and more of an olive complexion like the Brovold side!! My Granddaughter Calla is so happy that she has a cousin that looks like her...her twin sister Mia is fair like cousin Quinn!!!
Okay family time over...lol!!!

Wow! Such a stunning image Beth and beautifully coloured. Your design is perfect and all of your fabulous details are gorgeous - such a wonderful card.
ReplyDeleteMax is adorable, he does look a little serious in the photograph though! My boys are very similar in looks, they both take after my side of the family, but they are so different in temperament and character - say no more!

Wow Beth, what a beautiful card! Actually its stunning! Just love all of the colouring and embellishments. Also Max is just gorgeous and while I'm at it I think you forgot to update your info....now you have two grandsons!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated New Year Beth! This is utterly stunning, gorgeous coloring in jewel tones and beautifully embellished. I love AW images, beautiful details; they are a real challenge to color but sure it's worth it.
ReplyDeleteYour new grandson is an adorable little fellow, he is looking very self assured. Love it when they show personality at such young stage.
I took some time off from paper crafting over Christmas holidays and started doing some crochet to make better use of my time during breaks at work, lol.
Have a good weekend!
Hugs, Katie
