Guest Designer for Challenge 87 Vintage

Hello and happy Friday

********

Today the Fussy and Fancy girls

are happy to introduce

our very talented guest designer

Ginny Getty

Here's a little bit about Ginny:

I live in northern California, in the foothills of the Sierras, with
my husband Scott.  I love and teach the paper arts, from book
making, iris folding, paper sculpting, rubber stamping
to zentangles.

As my "rubber room" is filled beyond capacity I find myself
turning more and more to digis for new fun images.

Something I swore I would never do (determined to remain a
rubber purist!).  Now my favourite artists include Mo Manning
of the Digital Pencil, Megan Suarez of Dilly Beans and Sassy
Cheryl who are all among so many talented artists in their field.

Here's hoping that you colour with abandon, create wildly and
always make what amuses you!

Here's the gorgeous card that Ginny

has made for our current challenge

Vintage

We love the blend of colours
used to create your background
over stamping with your vintage
stamp and swirls.  

Combined with your flowers
and ribbon it makes a great 
vintage themed card.

We hope you can visit Ginny's blog

RubberMAD

to read more about her card and how she
made it.  You'll be in for a treat when you
take the time to see more of her work

It's been a real pleasure Ginny  - thank you!

xx Happy crafting and glittery hugs xx

Guest Designer for Challenge 86 Faux Technique

Hello and happy Friday

********

Today the Fussy and Fancy girls

are happy to introduce

our very talented guest designer

Lori Aragon

Here's a little bit about Lori:

I'm a happily married mom of two grown sons and one little
puppy dog who happily keeps me company while I craft!

I love God, friendships and spending lots of time in my craft room.

Over the last 4 years I've been on various design teams, one of
which was the very first DT for Fussy and Fancy Fridays!!!
I appreciate all styles of art, but my first love is cardmaking
and coloring with my Copics.

Thank you for the opportunity to share my work.  I hope you enjoy

Here's the gorgeous card that Lori

has made for our current challenge

Faux Technique

Lori has used the faux emboss/resist

technique with a lovely blend of 

gorgeous blues, pinks and purples.

And speaking of gorgeous, just look at

her beautiful colouring of that fun image.

The lace, pretty butterfly along with the

twine make the perfect finishing touches.

We think it's great to have one of Fussy

and Fancy's original design team members

back as a guest designer and to know

that she still takes part in the challenges

We hope you can visit Lori's blog

My Comfort Cottage

to read more about her card and how she
made it using the faux emboss/resist
technique.  You'll be in for a treat when you
