PAPER TEMPTRESS AND BLOGGERS CHALLENGE - SKETCH

Hello Everyone, HAPPY Friday! I have a few projects that I am sharing with you today! The Bloggers Challenge will be on this post too, so scroll down please!

I am thrilled to be the Guest Designer for The Paper Temptress this month! They are having a Design Team Call right now - so go check them out - HERE, if you are interested. I have to say WOW! SOOooo many WONDERFUL papers in that store!!! I have been ordering some papers here and there and sticking in my stash and have had fun pulling them out and playing with them this month.

You have to FEEL this Black Velvet paper. Such glorious texture and it feels SO good in my fingers, I barely want to use it... But truthfully.... What good is this SCRUMPTIOUS paper if you do not USE IT!? If you USE it, it will bless not only YOU but someone else too! It is hard to SEE the velvet - but my oh my!

Black Velvet (Touche Black)



I also used the Cryogen White Iridescent and Black Leather (pictured to the left),

and Fantasy Silver Metallic Ribbon

Someone asked me the difference in this paper verses other papers - this is how I replied it is the TEXTURE and how it absorbs the ink and Ohhhh SOOO luscious and filled with SPLENDOR!!!

I used the Technique Junkie Newsletter April/ May 2003 issue and the Split Negative technique..
