Catch up* January 08* Fabulous with Donna Downey

Went out to Rockwall for a couple of Donna's classes, I haven't been out there in a very long time. They have a nice store, nice layout and great product lines.

I didn't take all of the classes because I was scheduled to take one class with Donna in Virginia in February. But oh boy, I took her unscripted class. We learned how to use crackle to make some great paint surfaces and my first try at the Bind-It-All. I am now a fanatic.

I planned poorly and didn't have all of my class supplies again, so I had no paint. I tested a couple of colors but couldn't achieve the color layers I was looking for. I made up extra covers from chipboard I had with me, thinking I would test and test to get what I was looking for in color.

Check out the fabulous look with the silver metallic crackle over top of the pink. I was totally inspired by the SEI line for Valentine's day and loved the glittered paper. So it was my usual buy up what I think I need, some how butterflies became part of my theme. So the hunt was on for butterflies. And finally, Gotta Scrap has the best flowers from Prima, in perfect colors of pink!

And finally, the results.........

Just a hint, you can crackle with Elmer's Glue too. Saves the expense of using the special crackle medium.
