H2H Color Challenge! My Swing Card Tweets.

Oh...ShamWow!  This was something that really had me pondering...what in the world do I use for my good ol' fashioned favorite blending pen?  Hmmm...I know, an exclusive stamp set I've never touched.  D1418 Alphabets - While this stamp set was one of our featured gifts during National PaperCrafting Month, I decided that I wanted to get it a little bit inky.  I sure had a blast with this weeks color combination challenge from H2H.  I decided to take another tour around UTube of course and I found this tutorial on how to do a swing card that is simple & quick.  Now, for the H2H challenge of course I vamped up the extras with some embossing, texture with scoring and sanding, coloring flowers and to top of the technique extravaganza with this challenge was using Daneen's blending pen technique with the Birdy!  Isn't he just cute?  
Exciting?...Just wait there's more...

This is what it looks like when you flip up the top, a secret lil hiding place for your message.
& of course Dear Deneen's Technique.  Check out H2H & MORE via the H2H badge located to the left hand side of my page.  You will be sooo inspired!
Here is the H2H Color Challenge Combo: Autumn Teracotta, New England Ivy, & Honey
Items Used: 
All 3 colors for the cardstock & exclusive inks pad; except the back base & the main stamp image using Colonial White
Bitty Sparkle for the eye
Blending Pen
Sponge
Twill Ribbon
Clear Detail Embossing Powder
Versamark
Antique Copper Brad
& unfortunately a retired stamp set....
So now you know what I've been up too these past quite couple of days.  I've been creating of course!  Got my studio all organized & FINALLY unpacked.  I can not wait to get my magnet board completed with "Cherry-O".  Before I get to that...I want you to know that I made an extra s"Tweet" H2H card just for YOU!  Plus I will also be teaching how to make one of these cards of your very own on my Ustream Channel so you won't want to miss it.  Tuesday September 12, 2010 @ 7:30pm.  See You There!
