Hello Hello Hello! Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! Here is my latest design for the BBTB2. The challenge was to use the ric-rac cut from Plantin Schoolbook. Soooo...I cut out the bird from the 50 States cartridge in black cardstock and covered it with various printed ric-rac cardstock, overlapping them, then trimming the edges. I inked the edges of the bird in white and sprayed the whole bird with bronze Ritzy Ditzy Glitz (similar to Tattered Angels spray, but I like this kind better because it dries almost instantly). I used kraft cardstock to create a card, inking the edges in white. I then added ric-rac borders to the top and bottom, scrunched up a piece of patterned paper and glued it to the card. Over the weekend I had created various paper roses (see my upcoming video on Above Rubies Studio!!!!!! eeek!) and I attached them to the card with polka dotted paper flowers beneath. I then sprayed the whole card with garnet Ritzy Ditzy Glitz. The bird was attached with foam dots and I added the silver metal words, which were on clearance for 25 cents at Michael's. Go check out the other designers take on the challenge at Bitten By The Bug2!

What a genius--using the rick rack to cover the bird. I love it, Melissa.
So terribly sorry to hear about your kitty. It is difficult to lose your pet. They're so much a part of your family. Hugs to you. Jeri
