I know I know I have been MIA but I have valid reasons for it...I am getting married and I am so neck deep in prep... Bahh I miss crafting so much but thanks to DT projects I get to craft atleast twice a month... (Bless you Color Conceptions Challenge Blog).

Now the current challenge at Color Conceptions is all about textures.. I am focusing on the Tim Holtz Distress Crackle Paint.. It gives such an amazing crackled finish I cannot even begin to tell you...I made an 8x8 photo page layout...

Can you see the gorgeous crackled texture...???

Even the butterflies have crackle paint on them.. Looks like textures skin...

 My association with the store is quite recent but really really amazing.

  This would be fresh and new start to you and to us . Would it not be apt to have a related theme for this month? So here we go!

                      Challenge 1 : A new Beginning and use Bakers Twine.

 Here is a sneak peak of my inspiration for the challenge. Full view of the project in Challenge blog!

So when I first got to know we had to use Bakers Twine I was like dude, no way.. Wanna know why.. I am a bakers twine virgin.. I don't like things knotty for they scare me.. ( Now you understand my not so enthusiastic approach to using ribbons on projects).. I have gone CAS on my project.. You can see the butterfly and the twine.. Well, now build up your imagination... :D.. I shall give the full details later.. Just want to say this.. I had a ball making this card.. from the conceptualization to the execution... 

TIP: Glossy accents work really well for sticking bakers twine.. You got to be careful and not mess up your hands with glue else it would dirty your twine.
