For my orange project, I chose to do a chipboard mini book. Two of my favorite things are flowers and sparkle.And, I used both! On the cover I used some white lace and tulle and sprayed it with my homemade "glimmer mist"(water, colored with food color to make orange and about 1/4 teaspoon gold Perfect Pearls). The butterfly is chipboard covered with paper. The edge is punched with Fiskars Effervescence Border Punch and is laced with green fiber.
I do wish the photographs were better. If I had finished while I still had daylight, it would have helped! I apologize for that!
Other Fiskars tools I used during this project were:
Read Between the Vine Corner and Border Punch
Sure Cut Trimmer
Extra Large Seal of Approval Squeeze Punch
Wishes All Around Clear Stamps
Compact Stamp Press
3 in 1 Corner Punch - Flowers
You can find these tools and many more at the Fiskars Web Site.
Thank you so much for coming by! This is my first-ever blog-hop and I have had fun getting this far! Leave a comment here and be entered in a random drawing for the Fiskars Fall 2009 LE "What a Nut" squeeze punch that I will send to one lucky blogger! (see post below)
