Happy Saturday Everyone!  Wendy here with you today.

 I’m thrilled to be guest designing on behalf of Your Next Stamp who is sponsoring Wee Memories for their current Scrappy Saturday Challenge …

I’ve used a fun YNS favorite of mine, You’re So Cool butterfly as my “adorable” image.  He or she (who can tell, LOL) is so much fun to color.  This time I decided to try something new by coloring the wings using a feathering technique.  Feathering is when you use  two contracting colors and working from opposite ends of the object and blend them together with soft “feather” blending.  I used V12, V000, YG23, & YG01.  After adding the sparkle to the wings, it’s a little hard to see what a beautiful technique this really is.  But I promise you that there are no “lines” and it’s a seamless transition between the colors.

I’ve used today’s The Sweet Stop Sketch (SSS104) for my layout design which gave me fits…I don’t “do” tilted panels very well.  LOL!!   Glossy Accents were applied to the sunglasses and glass of pink lemonade (that’s what I decided he was drinking  🙂  And the sparkle treatment on the wings is a combination of Shimmerz Pixie Dust and Stickles Star Dust…mixed together and painted on.  I find that it gives a very light and sheer sparkle.  You have to “catch the light” to see the sparkle otherwise it just appears as normal.  Oh, and I almost forgot to mention that I have finally tried the White Cryogen paper (the paper has a iridescence sheen) with this image and I LOVE it!!  🙂
