Paper Temptress - Soar

Hello Crafters,

Here's a card I created focusing once again on the leather line of papers available at The Paper Temptress.
I love the look of leather. I have the variety pack and wanted to show you some of the colors that were available.There are so many fantastic papers available at The Paper Temptress. I hope you will go visit.
Here's a close up that captures some good color. :

As you can see I used an ivory (looks beige-y to me) base.. Then the top butterfly is called Cordovan and the next butterfly is white.

In the above photo you can see all 3 butterflies and the third butterfly is blue.

I used my EK Success layering punch for the butterflies.

Here is the finished card.:

I used my Close To My Heart Stamp and Distress Ink from Tim Holtz - Peacock

Head on over to Paper Temptress for all your Specialty Paper Needs. Stay tuned I will be participating in a special OWH hop. I will be experimenting with a digi-image.

Also check our blog to see a whole lot of inspiration: Paper Temptress Blog.

Once again the focus for this project was to showcase the paper leaving it relatively exposed.
Hope you enjoy.
Have a great weekend.
Happy Scrappn!

August Scrap That Project #1 Peace

Here is 1 of 3 projects made with the August kit from Scrap That! 

I got to use the Maja Design Vintage Spring Basics paper. I loved working with them.

Here you can see the final project.

Here are a few close ups:

I had to add those pearls.. Want 2 Scrap Bling Pearls.. and my 3rd Eye Stamp taking care of the corner:

Altered butterfly that came in the kit.

This is using my Cereal Box Tut. I painted them with Gesso first then embossed them and then kissed them with some ink.  Had to top them off with more pearls.

Some wonderful Dusty Attic Chippie ... gessoed and then stamped with 3rd Eye Stamp.  You can see another 3rd Eye stamp right there in the corner.

Here you can see a bit of masking and modeling paste. I outlined the letters with a marker. 

A little peek a boo lace is shown.

Love my Prima Masks and paste.. with those cool Luxe Circles! Peek a boo clock with pearls.

So there ya have it.
