BELLA CREATIONS - THE TRES CHIC CHALLENGE!

The TRES CHIC Challenge is about STYLE!  The direction for April was GRUNGE, using turquoise, black and silver.  Lacee I love you but GRUNGE?   Why don't you come over to Bella Creations and check out the details for yourself!   Here is my Design Team submission, an altered cigar box;

I framed the lid up with black Magic Mesh, strips of painted cardboard and a couple of patterned papers.  My favorite Platinum Stickles on numerous edges for a bit of sparkle!  The picture is one I couldn't resist - see the little girl in the front with her finger in her nose!  I know exactly how that mom felt when she saw the school picture LOL  Now that is a little grungy!

Of course there is an awesome prize of stamps from our challenge sponsor Rogue Redhead Design..

BELLA CREATIONS - THE BELLA UNIQUE CHALLENGE!

One of the main challenges at Bella Creations each month is the "Bella Unique Challenge" which focuses on a specific technique.  This month the technique is creating your own flourishes using Liquid Pearls.    I absolutely fell in love with Liquid Pearls doing this challenge - who knew!  I chose to make a spring banner (NEST) for my  Design Team submission;
