To say I am overwhelmed and humbled is an understatement...
Today I am stopping by for a short visit to say "Thank You" to all of you who took the time to read my blog over the past week and leave such wonderful comments. Also "Thank You" to all those people who read the Graphic 45 blog and also left so many sweet comments. I so appreciate each and every one of them.
I am so grateful to have this new and exciting opportunity with Graphic 45. I hope that you will stop by often as we travel through this journey together.
My "Thank You" card was made with papers from the KaiserCraft "Lush" Collection. The colors in the collection are actually quite bright, but when you combine them with script papers, some lace, pearls, buttons and a flower, the end result is a sweet shabby combination.
My new favourite technique is to use a paper flower on my project and to lightly coat it with a layer of Frosted Lace Stickles. To complete this technique I simply squeeze some of the stickles onto a piece of paper and using a fine paintbrush I paint the entire flower. The great thing about this is it really dampens the paper flower and you can then gently use the end of the paintbrush to re-mould the petals of the flower. Not only can you re-mould the shape of the flower but when it is dry you end up with a beautiful frosted piece of goodness to complete your cards or altered pieces of art.
The letters on my card were cut using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Vintage Market die. I adhered them to the card with foam mounting tape for dimension and painted a small amount of Frosted Lace stickles onto each letter.
Thank you again, because of you I had such an amazing week. Lynette
congrats on the exciting annoucement and looking forward to meeting you in Brisbane in a few weeks time

Lynette, thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills at Barbi's. I enjoyed the experience of being in your class. Many new techniques were gained. Feeling too tired to do the homework tonight but I will enjoy using the ideas on new papers. Thanks.

Just by coincidence, I bought some Frosted Lace Stickles at the CKC Manchester today! Love how you used it! Beautiful card!

I just viewed your LA Mini Album on the Graphic 45 site. It is so creative and georgous. I love Curtain Call; it was a great choice. I was hoping to find you on Ustream or Youtube. Congratulations on being chosen for the Graphic 45 Design Team.
