Before I share today's 'treasure' I want to remind everyone that it's time to get registered for my March 11 Scraps and Prayers class, as well as give me your RSVP for the March 17 Spring Open House Party. A lot of fun is headed your way!
Now, for today's 'treasure' I want to share with you.
I have a work in progress for you today. I apologize for being MIA for a few days, but I've been working in my studio on projects that were just too messy to stop and share. A lot of 'behind the scenes' work goes on here that you just don't get to see.
Here's ONE of my current projects --- working on a sewing machine drawer ... well, actually several drawers. I seem to have quite a collection of these. I love them and they are so handy for containing lots of little items, as well as being super for displaying cards in my studio. I was looking at one the other day and it suddenly hit me that there was something beautiful hidden under all the grungy stain and whatever some fool put over them. I'm still not finished, but here's what I uncovered so far.
Why in the world would you cover up such beautiful brass? All this time I've had these drawers and never realized what was hiding. It has beautiful engraving on each corner and is labeled 'SINGER MFG CO.' How cool is that? I have a ways to go yet, but it's so fun to discover the treasure under the grunge.

Laugh Cry Smile Card
Laugh ... Cry ... Smile ... Repeat. That kind of sums up daily life sometimes. Thankfully, I've been able to have the laugh / smile parts the most. That's good. I love the text of this card. The whole thing came out quite pretty. Of course it would, with this gorgeous DSP and all the butterflies:)
I added Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint to the punched butterfly. I attached him by just the middle of his body, so his wings could be more dimensional. The card base is one of our newer colors - Balmy Blue. It's a really pretty shade of blue.
I covered the envelope flap with the DSP and then used a left-over strip to perk up the front. Fancy:)

Botanical Butterfly Cards, Design 2
Here are the cards I made using the second design from my 'Class On The Go' kit. Again, I made 2 cards, one with each side of the DSP.
I love the black and Highland Heather together ... very pretty!
I love both cards, but I think the one on the left is my favorite. I love the black and white DSP on this one.

I used a sponge dauber and ink to color a ribbon to match the Highland Heather card.
Isn't this new embossing folder pretty? I love it!I love both cards, but I think the one on the left is my favorite. I love the black and white DSP on this one.
