Recipe Swap "In Print"

Hiya hens! Havin' a good weekend are ya? Well I've been sitting' in the hen house playin' today, so you know I'm havin a good one! Tee-hee! Today's card is part of the Quick Fire round over at Catered Crop and this week's FEATURED INGREDIENT is PRINT! As luck would have it, one of the designs in my new little paper pack from My Minds Eye looks just like a newsprint too. Woo-hoo! How perfect is that? I've been itching to make one of these paper flowers, so I decided I was gonna give it a go today with some of this newsprint DP. Not sure if I did it exactly how I remembered seeing it, but I think it's cute! This little image is called Cupcake Ruby from Ladybug Crafts Ink. Isn't she pretty? Now I must admit, when Kerry first asked me to be a guest designer for her, I said "Oooooh, I LOVE Magnum & Lily!" cuz you hens know I LOVEEEEE funny! But she wanted me to give Ruby a try too, so I said, "Ummmmm, I don't know Kerry... I can't do PRETTY!" She was like, "come on, give it a try!" Ok, so now I'm hoping you hens will tell me I did OK with PRETTY!

Here's the card details: First I started by cutting out four 2.5" scalloped circles from the newsprint DP using my Nestabilities. I crumpled them up and added some distress ink to the wrinkles. Then I sprayed them with some Shimmer Mist and let them dry. Next, I added a glob of white glue to the center of each and then pinched the centers as I stacked them on top of each other. I finished by adding a coordinating circle of DP and pearl brad to the center and set the flower aside to dry. I stamped my image onto some Neenah Classic Crest CS and colored her with my Copics. I added some sparkle to the image with my Gelly Roll metallic pen but I'm not sure if you can see that in the photo. It's SUPER pretty IRL. I cut her out with my scalloped oval Nestabilities and sponged some chalk ink around the edges. Here's a tutorial on that technique if you've never seen it done. As for the design, I followed the Viva La Verve sketch here. I've seen several hens use this design this week and I just LOVED it!

Well that's it! Now it's your turn to hop on over to the Catered Crop and give it a go yourself. Linda has tons more inspiration to get your MOJO up an running! Okee dokee hens, that's it for me today! I hope you all have a great rest of your weekend and I'll see ya back in the hen house real soon.
