Don't have a paper pack for that? Just stamp your own!

This is a video made and shared by another consultant where she takes a scrapbook pattern, cardstock (CS) colors she wants to use, and makes her own patterned paper and decorations, all with stamps! It's a great way to personalize your pages to your photos.
Enjoy!
(Oh, and click on the title to link to the video! And I'm sorry but it isn't captioned. You can SEE how she does it though.)

This card is pretty much as shown from the Wings Workshop On The Go (WOTG) guide except that I used the Jan SOTM (Stamp Of The Month) instead. I LOVE the multi-colored look of the butterfly that goes with the butterfly paper.

You may not be able to tell in the picture, but the white card base (above the strip) was sprayed with the shimmer mist with a little bit of green coloring. It's shimmery and slightly green and so much prettier in real life!

I also stamped the butterfly right on the card, and cut out the top butterfly and put that on top so it's sitting there like a real butterfly.




This I had intended to have as a vertical card (simply because my other cards were horizontal!) but oops, I stamped it already so horizontal it stays.

Winging my way back here



I am having a lot of fun with this Wings paper pack and the fun new Spray Pen that CTMH now has.
I tried my best to get a picture so you could see the shimmer on the butterfly paper and the pink flower, can you see it?
You take the pen and drip a few drops of reinker and a blob or two of the Pearl paint (from CTMH) and shake it up with either water or rubbing alcohol (50% or 70% - NOT 91%). Spritz away, oo la la, so much fun!!



What do you think of this one? I embossed the bird from the Find My Style (January's Stamp Of The Month) and daubed different colors onto it. Cut it out and popped it up on some foam tape. Played with my Nestabilities dies I got for Christmas from my honey, and put it all together.
















This one I think may be my favorite - it's so quick and easy and yet, I think it's a little bit dressed up with the shimmer on the butterfly paper and the two-colored lettering from the new Bohemian alphabet (normally $34.95 but you can get it this month only for $25 with the Wings Workshop On The Go pack that includes a spray pen.)

Just happened to have the blue/green ribbon and decided it matched so used that - all up! Only scraps left.
