I just purchased both through Bex, an Independent Stampin' Up Demonstrator at Stamping & Scrapping with All About Assistance and guess what ... I qualified (in the 2nd to last day) for the Stampin' Up! "Sale-A-Bration" (expires 31st March 2012) and received for FREE (for spending over $120), the Designer Paper Series "Everyday Enchantment" range of gorgeous papers!

Mannequin Card

Well ... today I finally made my "Thinking of You" card for a very lovely lady called Marion, who has just undergone an op.
I decided to break out my new Mannequin die and loved the results.
First off I cut it in Black card using my trusty Cuttlebug, then re-cut on a patterned paper.
I attached some fine glittering netting and a ribbon to make the tutu skirt.
Also used were the stamp set "Cottage Garden", Beautiful Wings Butterfly Embosslits, Scallop Trim Border Punch, and Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint all by Stampin' Up!, and finally some rhinestone brads and dimensionals.

Happy craftn'

China Glaze - Optical Illusion

"This is the mostly greenish polish from the Prismatic Collection and it sure does not disappoint.
A lot of people don't like these polishes for some reason, but I totally adore them. They are so interesting and original and eye catching!" ...

Scrangie also blogs of this beautiful nail colour ...

"China Glaze Optical Illusion. Aqua green glimmers with a hint of purple filled with pink, yellow, silver, orange and green flecks. The aqua color of this is very pretty as it is, but then it flashes to blue with purple highlights and it's just... wow.  Makes me think of mermaids!"

As you can see by the above photos, that accordingly to light and camera angles, this polish look soooooo different.

I was soooo enchanted with the description given by Scrangie, that I just had to go out and purchase a bottle form my good friend MJ over at MJ NailBank for $13.90

As soon as my order arrives ... watch this space!

Small problem … I had misplaced my Isopropyl  Alcohol!!!
Soooo … my Mom-In-Law suggested trying Gin!!!
So here’s my effort, not the best I agree!!!

Gin Newspaper Nails ...
Stay tuned cos “Isopropyl Alcohol” is now at the top of my shopping list!!!
