MIM #228 Pearlized Blending with Lizzie

 

My card for MIM using Lizzie's Technique.  Click to watch her video.

Initially, I didn't have the antenna on them so tried to stamp them on and didn't like that so die cut some in black and didn't like the starkness of them so tried it in similar colors of the butterfly which I think I like better.  I don't know.  What do you think?

Love it when cards come together so easily like this one.  I actually made one with Garden Grace, but it was too big, so came up with this one using Harvest Berries.

A tag for the Create Along With Us 

Using Betsy's tags below as an inspiration

  

I love her tags.  I tried several things to come up with something.  Didn't have any pattern paper that would work, then tried to make my own striped background and screwed it up when it was almost done and didn't like it with the top tag anyway.  Oh well, it is what it is....

Join us this week for Nina's challenge to add a Moose to your card.

Merry Monday 

 I didn't own a single moose so had to go in search of one.  Found this cute little moose  juggling gifts on his head  by Stampendous.

Used Copic to color and added a piece of PTI's Christmas Prints and then popped him up with some foam.
