…Claudia and Company Preview

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO SEE MY ATS WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE FOR TODAY

Yep, you guessed it…I’m the special Guest Designer for Claudia and Company this week!  I was so honored when Claudia approached me to join her fabulous design team for November’s Release, and so I jumped at the opportunity.  The C & Co’s Winter Release Party is getting closer and closer, and we’re inviting you to join us on Friday, November 5th for their biggest release yet.  The company’s two design teams will be coming together for one super blog hop, and I’m also joining in the festivities!  Die Cuts R Us will be providing a wonderful prize pack for at least one lucky hopper!

But today I’m delighted to share a preview with you using one of the new Puddle Jumpers designed by Lori Boyd:

Introducing “Party Piper”

I stamped her and her present in Black Ink, colored them with Copic Sketch Markers, then carefully cut the images out using scissors.  The focal panel was cut out using Nesties and a Big Shot, then I attached the images to the panel tucking the gist behind Piper’s back.  I paired the image with some patterned papers from SU’s Raspberry Tart Designer Series Paper pack, then stitched around the edges of the dry embossed Green Galore Cardstock panel.  I also added some piercing around the edges of the large Rose Cardstock panel, and stitched a White Cardstock border to the patterned paper panel.  After adding some Silver Brads, Distressing, and tons of Dimensionals the card was complete.  Isn’t she one sweet little party-goer???

That’s it for me today!  Thanks for stopping by to see me, and I’ll see you back here tomorrow with another Verve Day Thursday creation using some of the new Winter Release sets!  Until then…
