Last of my VSN projects

For VSN besides cards I also made a few projects, so I have one card, a Composition Book and candy bag to show you.

The card was for the Bling challenge, use glitter, stickles or something. I used my Sakura clear stardust gel pen I love how easily it lets you add sparkle to a project and in such detailed spaces. You might need to click on it to see the "bling". I water colored the fish from "Fishy Friends" with my Watercolor Wonder Crayons, and used the sentiment from the fish stamp in "Very Punny". I used Bashful Blue for the background and used my Bubbles Embossing folder to emboss it in my Cuttlebug. Iused the glitter pen to add detailed bling to the scales of the fish. and accented the silvery shimmer with some silver cord tied over the Ribbon.

For the Altered Composition Book I used the Uptown DP from SU. I first used the basic Gray colored sheet of paper to cover the spine. and then the mullticolored sheet to cover the back and front panels butting them up to each other. I cut the paper with my Cricut using "Walk In My Garden" cartridge to cover the seam using the blossom and border feature cutting 3 times at 1-1/2". By reversing the center piece I made a wave of flowers, making sure the center cut out were overlapping the grey paper so they would show up better. I then added ribbon pieces that I thought matched the paper well a satin green, a grosgrain lilac and a snipet of yellow trim I picked up at a local craft store. I had the "e" imbellishment in my stash. I believe given to me by a friend. I like how it turned out nice and simple for my DD's friend.

My last and final VSN Project for January's VSN

are these Covered Nugget Candy Bags. I used some flowers I cut with my Cricut last spring for an ATC. some off white satin ribbon and some cellophane bags. I had about 10 labels left on a sheet of labels so I used my leaf Jumbo Wheel and my mellow moss stamp pad to put leaves on the labels and a sheet of White GP cardstock.

then I used the flower from Think Happy Thoughts to stamp Pretty in Pink flowers all over the labels and images of leaves. Prior to stamping and rolling the wheel I masked the labels with

1-1/4" circles I had punched from Post It notes. I was thinking that adding the Friendship stamp to the blank area would be cute. I used SU basic gray Ink and little pieces to add the heart image to the center and I feel I went wrong here. I shold have just used just the Wheel and flower image as that turned out so cute. I felt the fold over top needed a bit more so I used 2 of my large yellow striped brads for flower centers. Little Punched out flowers would have looked great on the tops of the nuggets.

Oh well to make all these projects each in less than 45 minutes is an accomplishment for me all of its own. Until later ...Happy Stamping!
