Card Featuring Guneaux Designs' Polished Sliced Rock Technique

Last week I posted a video featuring another version of my new technique called Sliced Rock.  The version in that video is called "Polished Sliced Rock Technique".  The video is posted HERE for you to refer to for the supplies used for the technique and the card below. 

I think this card is beautiful!  Additionally, the card's fold is different from any I've seen.  Note the ribbon that ties the card shut.  The ribbon is the new Gumball Green 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon, and it is great to work with!

This is a closeup of the card's element that I created with my new technique.

This is the first portion of the card's inside:

The card created with the above example will be in tomorrow's post.  Below is a video that instructs you on how to create artwork using the Polished Sliced Rock Technique.

Flag Day!

HAPPY FLAG DAY!!!  Did you know that on June 14, 1777 the Continental Congress of the Stars and Stripes adopted the Stars and Strips as the official flag of the United States (U.S.)?  That's true!  Consequently, a law was enacted that designated today as Flag Day.  

Flag Day is a day that the President of the U.S. calls on U.S. Government officials to display the flag of the U.S. on all government buildings, and urges people of the U.S. to observe June 14 as Flag Day to celebrate the anniversary of the adoption of our official flag. 

This day is important to my family as it also is my late Dad's birthday.  He LOVED the American Flag, and displayed it everywhere he could as well as purchased anything that had the flag on it.  This card is in celebration of both special events.

Does my flag look like it's waving in the wind like the one above?  I meant for it to. 
God bless the United States of America, and may we look upon our flag in a special way today.

God's Blessings

My Digital Studio Scrapbook Page

It has been a while since I posted a scrapbook page that I developed with My Digital Studio (MDS), therefore, I made one and am sharing it with you today.  After using the Stampin' Up! MDS, I think I will not return to paper scrapbook pages as the software is easy to use and you can create pages a lot faster than when using paper.

The theme of this scrapbook page is my spring flowers.  I planted a Butterfly Bush this Spring, and it truly is attracting butterflies; some that I've not seen often. 

The background paper is from the Twitterpated Kit Digital Download (129332), Twitterpated Designer Series Paper, Twitterpated - 7 design.  The Opacity of this design was set at 62, which means to degree to which the paper is opaque.

Can you see what the second layer is?  Look closely and you'll see it is a picture of a Hibiscus flower.  I enlarged the picture to cover the background paper and set the Opacity at 42.  It is a picture of the same Hibiscus plant, but a different flower than that in the right photo box.

The other pictures are of my Peach Cobbler Butterfly Bush, which is attracting beautiful butterflies. 

If you've not tried the My Digital Studio Express Trail for 30 days FREE, I strongly encourage you to do so. 

I hope you enjoy the scrapbook page.  If you have questions, click on the "Ask Questions" button along the bottom of the header of this blog.
