Be Beautiful!

Hello friends! How is your summer going? My daughter just started back to school on this week. I can't believe how fast the summer vacation went!

Today I've got another Verity Rose project to share with you. This new paper crafting collection from Crafter's Companion is super fun to create with. All the coordinating products makes designing a card, or any other project, so easy! This card project features "Starlet".  She is stylish, alluring and glamorous. She likes the movies, showbiz, sparkles and wearing shoes that glitter. She is one sophisticated little lady!

All the images are from the Coloring Pad. I did all my coloring with Spectrum Noir Markers and Sparkle Pens. To help me with selecting colors for her hair, I went right over to the Spectrum Noir Blog and searched for "hair color combinations". No need to figure it out when someone else did the work already.

• Black Hair Colors - IG3, IG5, IG8, IG10, Black Sparkle Pen
• Eyes - IG1, TB1, BT2
• Eyelashes - Clear and Black Sparkle Pens
• Lips - DR5, Clear Sparkle Pen
• Skin - FS2, FS3, TN2, CR3
• Dress & headband feather - IG1, IG2, Clear Sparkle Pen
• Golden Color - GB1, GB4, GB7, Spun Gold and Clear Sparkle Pens
• Flower - CR5, CR8, DR5, Solar Red Sparkle Pen
• Leaves - DG2, DG4, GG2
• Fox - TN1, TN4, TN9, TB1, IG1
• Camera - IG1, IG3, IG4, IG8, IG10, Clear and Black

Here you can see some of the amazing shimmer from the Sparkle Pens. I added dimensional glaze on the the camera, and on the big round headpiece gem.

Scarlet has a little fox friend...who is peeking out from behind the camera and a beautiful rose (which is her favorite flower).  The sentiment is framed from the Verity Rose Official Frame Die, which I die-cut from Shimmering Yellow Pearl Cardstock. The yellow strip down the side of the main image panel is also from the shimmering cardstock. I used the Verity Rose Ribbon Border Die. A great way to use the die...having only a bit of it poking out.

Have a beautiful day full of sparkle and style!

Have you seen the new Verity Rose Collection? It's available NOW over at Crafter's Companion USA? YES!!! I'm in LOVE with these new products! Each character has a unique style and personality that takes you back to the 1920's - but with an added modern twist. I've used the "Sunbeam" character on my card. Sunbeam is cheerful, jolly, bright and breezy. To describe her in one word....Carefree. She likes sunshine, beach huts, deckchairs, fairgrounds and eating strawberry ice cream.

For even more fun, each character has a special animal friend and favorite flower. Sunbeam's animal friend is a flamingo and her favorite flower is a sunflower. All the accessory products are fabulous! They match perfectly with the characters, but you can use any of the products for crafting projects of any kind.

I colored the "Sunbeam" image, from the Verity Rose Coloring Pad, with Spectrum Noir Markers and Blendable Colored Pencils.

• Face: FS6, CR3, 009
• Eyes: GB8, TN7, EB6, IB2, Blender
• Hair: TN1, GB2, GB8, EB2, 015
• Reds: CR1, CR10, DR4, 095
• Pinks: CR5, PP2
• Flower: GB3, OR1, 015, 020, 022
• Cones: GB2, EB2, GB8
• Blues: IB1, IB2, IB3, TB1, TB2, TB8, TB9, 071

I also used my Black Spectrum Noir Marker to airbrush the black specks on ground and on the sentiment oval. To take it all up a level, I colored a few areas with Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay Sparkle Pen for some STUNNING shimmer! Yeah..I know...drool! LOL!

The fun just keeps on going with the stamps and matching dies!!! YES! The smaller sea shells and flamingo are die-cut, stamped and colored. I used the Sunbeam Accessories Stamps and Die set. No need to fussy cut those skinny bird legs! ha! I also diecut the Verity Rose Official Frame for the sentiment and tucked a bit of the Doily diecut behind the image panel. All these goodies are mounted to a card that is straight out of the Verity Rose Card Blanks Pad. And check this out...these cards are double-sided! Beautiful inside and out...even the backs are printed!

I mean...come ON! It doesn't get any better that this...right? Well...YES IT DOES! Matching Verity Rose Envelopes, Charms, Ribbon, Metal Dies, Paper Pads and Acrylic Stamp Sets! SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!
