Today at Create with Connie & Mary, we have a sketch challenge. You also need to know that we (the Design Team) have already been busy making some new projects & tutorials for our up-coming “Holiday Edition Subscription”. Yes, we jump right into a new subscription before the other even expires…busy, busy!
Here is today’s sketch:

And my card:

Have you ever tried using “Crystal Effects”? What is “Crystal Effects”? See how shiny my butterfly is below:

“Crystal Effects” is a thick, clear liquid that you apply to ANYTHING! You let it sit for about 30 minutes or depending on how much you used, maybe longer and it dries to a hard, shiny clear embellishment-like looking substance. You can also use it as a miracle glue!
Card Supplies:
- Cardstock: Raspberry Ripple, Lucky Limeade, Whisper White
- DSP: Floral District
- Inks: Raspberry Ripple
- Stamps: Papillon Potpourri, Blessings From Heaven
- Tools: Big Shot Machine, Delicate Doilies Sizzlits Die, Elegant Butterfly Punch, Ribbon Punch, Perfect Pennants Die, Sponge Daubers, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Crystal Effects
