McMahon Five Designs 5/26/11

McMahon Five New releases are out- I used Corset and I let the paper inspire me today.

  I was determined not to use Pink today.......so, I found this Prima Madeline paper and went with it!  The colors for accent are SU Forest Foilage and Chocolate Chip. I printed the image on Neenah paper and colored the image with Prismacolor pencils blended with Gamsol.  I have a color chart on my sidebar from SCS that matches cardstock colors to Prismacolor pencils and Copics (Thank You Cheryl!).
  The color match for Forest Foilage is 907. I used French Grey 10% on the main body of the Corset, and then used Gamsol and blended in a subtle 907 shading over that.  The bow is 'Layered up' and I added Creative Inspirations paint Fairy Dust to the top layer of the bow and to the main body of the corset.

I added a shade of green to the border of the image panel (Wisped Frames) and added 'Curled Corners' another Technique Junkies technique. I used the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge to inspire me, so added a lace border to the top and bottom with a Zig Zag and added some card stock 'wound up' for three little flowers. I added Stickles to the top of the flowers for some shimmer. 

I have another project to share with you. 

I found a template on Mel's Blog (Thanks You) for a darling purse template. 

This set is so shimmery!  I used Rose Quartz Mica Metallic cardstock for this PINK purse. I added score lines, then added rhinestones in pink at all of the intersections. The flowers are colored with Copic markers R81, R83, R85, and then I added a SU filigree brad finding. I made notecards that fit in the purse with the McMahon Five Awareness Freebie.

That is the same pink- the white shows off how shimmery it really is. 

I had to make another purse and I used Poptones black cardstock for this one.

I just love the way a few pearls and bling can accent plain cardstock!  The butterfly (a digi from McMahon Five) is colored with Copics and I added Stardust Gelly Roll pen for shimmer.  I put the red cardstock in the crimper, and ran the Gelly roll pen along the ridges.  I will include 4 of these little cards in the purse.
