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!

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
take the time to see more of her work

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

FAUX TECHNIQUE

Wendy would like to see your projects

I know you are probably thinking "what
on earth are they going on about" so here
are the design team to give you some ideas.

Wendy has a tutorial on her blog

you want to try that one out!
