NOW it's MY TURN :)

I have combined a few of my current favourites on this card. I am re-smitten with this ORNATE BUTTERFLY, and my LASER PRINTER, and PURPLE accents, and PEARL STRING and ORGANZA and GLITTER, and NEOCOLORII WATERCOLOR CRAYONS, and AURORA BOREALIS/Iridescent FLATBACK GEMS! ... whew!!!! I watercoloured the butterfly with the NeoColors as well as creating the background with them. I glue pen'ed the light areas of the butterfly then added Glamour Dust. The Aurora Borealis gems ... love them.. they go with everything and add a vintage flair... they remind me of my gramdma's vintage carnival glassware she kept in her china cabinet. so pretty.

I hope you had fun HOPPING with us! Thank you DT, Donna and Pizzazz Aplenty for a great HOP!

Here is an extra creation to lookee at!

I used a digital Blue "Alcohol Inked" frame from Custom Creations from Carol Ivy which is HERE.

I just have to show her product preview... these are so cool!

The card front is actually 2 layers, I just cut the inside of the frame leaving a bit of a white margin. Carol's shadows look so real! I added white pearl string, and organza mono edge ribbon ( Pizzazz Aplenty has them!) and I popped up the jug and a few of the tulips for a 3d look. I used Staples Brochure & Flyer paper Matte for my prints. The Tulip bouquet can be found in the Tulip Bouquet Pre-Coloured Set. I wish tulips came blue like this in real life. LOL

Thanks so much for hopping with us! I'll be back with a winner Saturday June 4th. Good Luck!

Here is our last Blog Hop pretty!

You've Been HUGGGGGGED!

This cutie was coloured with pencils. I took a square of watercolour paper and went to town with red WC paints and twinkling H20's to get a nice glimmery hot red to match the girls dress then got wicked hand cramps punching out ALL THOSE flowers with a MS Hydrangea punch and a MS branch punch on green watercoloured paper.. I shaped all the flowers and added Viva Decor pearl pen to the centers. I glued the large petals with silicone glue for extra depth and tacky glue for the rest. I even added flowers to her dress. The heart is a scalloped heart cutting file that is part of a cutting file set you will see VERY SOON :)

OK your last special word and the last one to complete the secret phrase is "Love!" ( ... of course it is people ;) )

ENTRY INSTRUCTIONS:

Once you have your phrase enter it at fredshesaid.contest@gmail.com or clicky this EMAIL LINK with BLOG HOP in the subject line, enter your secret phrase and your name. Please, one entry per person.

2010-07-30T08:37:00.000-04:00

Hi All! Here is the final stop on your Blog Hop journey! And it's Fred's turn to have some eye candy ;)

I used the dark purple peony from the Corner Peony Coloured Set to frame this Old Testament Blessing. If you would like this blessing, you are free to take it from this post. ( click on the image below to enlarge then right-click and SAVE).

I used the Big Scalloped Circles nestabilities and sponged/stencilled Antique Linen distress ink on the sentiment. The gold was brushed on using a mixture of gold and pearl watercolours ( I couldn't decide which to use so I used both LOL). The backing paper was CB embossed and coloured with distress inks ( dusty concord, spun sugar and a bit of antique linen) and spritzed with homemade glitter mists. I also distressed a small printed Monarch Butterfly. with dusty concord and added stardust pen to the wings and also to the highlights of the peonies.

Now don't forget this one! ;) Here is my special word for your collection :) Fred!

You have reached the end of the Fred She Said Blog Hop! Wasn't that fun?! I hope you have collected all the special words at each stop. They make up the secret code phrase.
