Papertrey Ink April 2009 Blog Hop - My Timeless Templates

The challenge from Papertrey Ink this month is to use of their My Timeless Templates. I used the Filed with Flair template, which I bought last month and intended to use for making April birthday gifts. As usual, it took a challenge to actually get me to use my new purchase.

The side panels were inspired by this project on the Cuttlebug Challenge blog. I used the Crayon Resist technique, coloring with purple crayon on the D'vine Swirl embossed paper. Then I painted over the panel with white acrylic paint, let it dry, and then sanded off some of the paint to expose the purple. Turns out that the swirly flowers from the Women of Life stamp life coordinate quite well with the embossed swirls.

I hope to make a matching Mother's Day card soon.

Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy the blog hop!
Jennifer
