Fancy Full Swap Card....sample 1


Good Morning & Happy Saturday!

My post for today is showing off my swap samples for....well; just like the title says LOL!!!  I made 20 of these & then I moved on to another color combo but that's for another post!  Our cards are supposed to take just a bit longer to make than your *ordinary* creation.....mine utilizes the Big Shot; Shimmer Mist & the Color Spritzer Tool.  I think I just about nailed the challenge but I'm considering adding a butterfly to the right corner.  You should know me by now---one of my cards just isn't complete without texture & a butterfly!!!  

I'm off to cut more cardstock for some *general* swaps!  In case you're wondering or just don't know....general swapping is when we walk around the convention center & just swap like CRAZY!  The swaps that I've shown you so far have been for organized swaps that I joined & I'm getting really excited for my lil' vacation!!  Thanks so much for stopping by & I hope you have a great rest of the weekend! 
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,

Supplies:  Notably Ornate & Vintage Vogue stampsets; Chocolate Chip, Confetti Cream & Crumb Cake cardstock; Chocolate Chip ink; Big Shot; Elegant Lines Embossing Folder; Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint; Chocolate Chip Marker; Color Spritzer Tool; Chocolate Chip Scallop Dots Ribbon; Decorative Label Punch; SU!
