Thank you so much for all the sweet comment you all left on my RAK card from my sweet friend Carol Southern...if you missed it...you can see it right HERE!!! I knew you would be blown away too...it's truly a masterpiece!!! This amazing technique on her card is called *Pergamano Craft*. I found this site and it explaines this fab technique a little more, but feel free to google it a little bit more!!!
Well, how about another fun OCC Challenge??? Linda is challenging us to try a *technique* we have never done before...so cool!!! I must admit I'm not huge into different techniques...I'm a visual learner and when I read instructions...I swear at the end I usually mess it up - LOL!!! If you want to try something new then please swing by the SCS Technique Site for inspiration!!!
For my card today I tried the Wax Paper Cuttlebug Resist technique.....very easy to make and I think the outcome is just gorgeous...and I didn't mess it up - LOL!!!
My main image is from the PTI Set Bird Watching. The layout is from the Sweet Sunday Sketch #56. When I saw this weeks Moxie Fab World Challenge - Let's Have Some Fun With Floss....I knew I had to play along. I love Karen Foster Scrappers Floss and believe it or not I have all the colors!!!
The main image was inked in Memento Black and colored with Copic Markers. For my Wax Resist BG I used the QuickKutz Retro Diamonds Embossing Folder. After I followed all the steps...I sponged the Glossy CS with Real Red Ink. I really like the outcome of this image :) !!! Next I finished the card with the Scrappers Floss, the Red Stitched Ribbon and Silver Pearls.
If you haven't tried this fun technique...I urge you to do so....it's really fun!!!
Now it's your turn....don't forget to stop by the OCC Blog to see all the Samples!!!
**************************************
My next card is for a few different Challenges....first I was inspired by this weeks IC220 - Lark. I chose this super sweet Butterfly Craft Kit for my inspiration piece.
Next I chose to run with the beautiful Curtain Call Color Combo #17 - using So Saffron, More Mustard , Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla and Going Gray...(had to use Basic Gray). I added the
LSC260 - using Ribbon and Trim plus it also fits this weeks Belli Challenge #85 - adding Butterflies or Dragonflies.
Here is my card............
I used the sweet Set from Stampin' Up called Flight of the Butterfly. Instead of using the sentiments in the Set...I decided to add some piercing. I also added piercing around the edges.
The butterflies were first inked in So Saffron and then I added the dots with the More Mustard Ink. The trim was created with Chocolate Chip using the new Scallop Trim Border Punch. I added the Basic Gray Taffeta Ribbon and dressed it up with some Silver Pearls and Buttons from the SU Latte Collection.
Thank you for stopping by today!!! Have a fabulous weekend!!!

Another couple of Silke-Sensations! You rocked all of the challenges...I especially love the scallop trim, perfect piercing, and tiny pearls on your Curtain Call card...Thanks so much for playing! Have a great weekend:)
ACK! That bird's nest card is the CUTEST! I love that little sign you made **happy sigh**. AND all those butterflies?! Me likie. I really hope those aren't from the SU butterfly punch, cause I just place an order and DIDN'T get it! Please tell me they came from one of the SU dies? I got them both!! Hugs,
Ok, stop it! these are TOO cute!!! I've never seen that technique before, it looks great! I must have those butterflies now - and I love the pearl inside the button! Your mojo is rockin' GF!
Beautiful cards, Silke. The new PTI set is adorable. Have a great weekend.
Wonderful cards - specially the first one is gorgeous (I never triede that technique, but should really give it a try!) also the colors of the second are really beautiful those butterflys cute - love the piercing with it!
Hope you are having a great weekend.
both wonderful cards
I don't think I've ever tried that technique either. I love the results, though. What a great background you created. And your butterfly card - I love it. You know I have a thing for butterflies. :-) I hope you have a good weekend!
Oh my word Silke, they're BOTH GORGEOUS!! I don't know where you find the time girlfriend! Your first one is just absolutely precious! What a darling image, and I'm really loving your red with it. That bow and that lil cut out sentiment is fabulous!
Great job with your second card too...love those butterflies! Nice choice with that gray ribbon, and as always, I'm LOVING those pearls....I need MORE!! LOL
Enjoy your weekend girly : )
I LOVE the OCC card. When I first looked at it I was wondering what new technique there was on it, the Cuttlebug resist looks like DP. I do have a question, didn't your glossy paper crack at the embossing when you ran it through the folder? Perhaps the QuickKutz folder is easier than the Cuttlebug?
FABULOUS GF!!!!!
Your butterfly card knocks my socks off!!! LOVE IT :)
These are both just FABULOUS, Silke!!!! I LOVE the bg your created for the OCC card and those yellow butterflies are PERFECT!!
I've not tried this technique yet. I don't even own wax paper! I know! Sick, eh?!!! It's a kitchen staple, and I don't remember the last time I had any. I may need to go get some and give this technique a go - yours is marvelous inspiration!!!
Love your IC card too!!!
Oh my gosh Silke! 2 More gorgeous cards! I haven't tried this wax paper technique but you surely made it look amazing! I don't have this PTI set yet so thanks for enabling me :) Your second card is just as beautiful! I love those butterflies & that border is just fabulous! I need to stay away from your site - you are one heck of a papercrafting temptress!
Both cards are fabulous, Silke! I love how your wax resist came out. I'm not big on techniques either but this is really nice. Love the birdhouses and the tiny "bless this nest" sign! Too cute!
Dang, girl, these are AWESOME!! You ROCKED every challenge with these two!! I'm WOW'd by all the little details--just fabulous!
Wow, Silke, these are both GORGEOUS!
These are wonderful, Silke! I saw the butterflies at SCS but I love the birdhouses! Love the red and the divided bg panels.
Spectacular, Silke! I LOVE the way your background turned out! What a cool technique - so glad you picked something and had it come out so fabulously! I didn't even see that technique when I searched SCS. Now I'm going to have to try it! You really rocked this challenge!
Hugs,
Linda

Love the one with the birdhouses too. The twine across the white panel is brilliant. Great card!!

Fabuloso, my dear friend! LOVE your coloring on that first one...so gorgeous. The second one....you KNOW I love this one....it has butterflies. I love the yellow/brown color combo, too. SOOO pretty!
