How many of you feel that way? If you have the same schools schedule as I do, I am sure you can relate. Summer is officially over the day after Labor Day. Kids have been back in school a couple of weeks. There are no vacation days from school in the near future. We can get in a routine and stay that way for quite some time. And, before we know it, the school year will be gone. Yikes!
Well, you came here for a project, and here it is J.
This is a card made using some great products from the new mini catalog -- the stamp set, the embossed flowers, and the color of the ornament.
Let me give you some details on the ornament. In the mini catalog is a product called Shimmer Paint. It comes in three varieties and they are ach $5.95. The bottles are not very big, but you hardly go through any when using it.
You notice that my ornament is a Rose Red color? How did I do that? I purchased the Frost White Shimmer color. Then, I added some Ink Color Refill. Believe it or not, I used Real Red. I added a couple of drops to a 1" puddle of the shimmer white paint. I liked the color I got and it was really close to Rose Red. If I would have continued to add more Re-Inker, than I would have gotten a "redder" color.
Something else new in the mini catalog is a punch that works with this stamp set.
You will notice the small piece of Chocolate Chip Cardstock behind the ornament. I used the Stampin' Up! Movers & Shapers Curly Label item for the Big Shot with the Stampin' Up! Holiday Windows for the Big Shot (from the Holiday Mini). You can see more about the Movers and Shaper on this post from a couple of days back.
