Hello From Brooklyn, Flair button fans!

HIYA! Michelle here,

(waving happily)

This is my first Flair For Buttons post. 

I am SO excited to be part of this amazing group of people! I love Shelley's scrap projects as well as her button designs and I am very inspired by the work posted here by my other team mates.

This week I have a couple of messy pages to share. Both were made with the "Believe" flair button set.

I used American Crafts Amy Tangerine sketchbook embellishments as well as some nail polish to gloss up the Scrap FX chipboard.

I've been experimenting with water colors a lot lately. This page needed some retouching in Photoshop after all the playing and splattering but now I have a better sense of what works with this medium and what doesn't.

Another project:

For this page I cracked open my paper safe and used some beloved and much hoarded Sassafras paper.

I went a little crazy with the vellum punches but I really like the final page. I had to double up the birds to get them to leap off the page (and into visibility).  Vellum is challenging to shoot properly but I love using it to make embellishments that don't suck up a lot of visual space.

Have you been experimenting with different materials or techniques lately?

Leave a link in the comments section and I'll swing by to check it out! 

Thanks for stopping by!!

Michelle
