Boy, it is soooo good to be back amongst bloggers! I have been without a computer for a couple of weeks and could hardly use the computer for about a month prior to that. Needless to say, I am thrilled to have a functioning computer allowing me to follow blogs, leave comments, and participate in challenges! And I have a bonus for the month of December- guest designing with the Design Team from the "Just Us Girls" Challenge! I missed last week due to the whole computer thing, but this week I am ready to go!
So, I am jumping in here for Trend Week, and it is a fun one- mixed media!
I used several mediums for my card including ink mixed with alcohol to spritz, embossing paste, embossing powder and wood.
Being a little low on mojo, I used the versatile sketch at Retrosketches~
I used Die-Namites Dies, the wonderful bird cage from Poppystamps, and the sentiment is from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. The bird cage is embossed with pewter embossing powder for wonderful shine.
I am also linking this up to the challenge at Poppystamps- Sparkle and Shine.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a blessed week,
Lee Ann :)

ReplyDeleteHi Lee Ann! I'm your newest follower. I was checking out the 'Add a Little Dazzle' site, and saw that you are a St. Louis crafter, so had to say hello! I live in Farmington, about 90 minutes south of the city, but am up there often. We will have to have a cup of coffee sometime! Love your card....I think that bird cage is so sweet, and your background is amazing! Thanks for the inspiration! Feel free to stalk my blog, as well! Hugs...
