Well, this RR challenge really caught my eye with the delicate colors and the gorgeous flower cluster. Kathi explained the fact that there is no photo because her new beginning is getting back to scrapping again. This is a great start! Congratulations!

Hi swirly ladies,
Today its my turn to do the Saturday Tutorial with you.
I am using the December Technique Kit Add On in this project, which included the Ice Resin and Prima IOD moulds. Both these products are great fun to create with and work perfectly together. The resin is easy to mix and pour into the moulds and after the hardening time the end result is fantastic, detailed and strong! I have teamed these up with products from the Swirlydoos December Kit.
I have created a Magnetic Tag Card. The Tag is attached to the card with magnets so it can easily be removed to be kept as a keepsake, a fridge magnet.

The SNAPGUIDE TUTORIAL to see how I created this project is available on the link below.
I made a second matching card as well, this one is made without the magnets, with a different ice resin piece.
Thank you for stopping by today.

Hello ladies,
Happy New Year!
The Layout of the week this week is not a layout but a gorgeous Gift Bag created by Kathi!
This was beautifully put together using layers of distressed and inked punched pattered papers and banners. The berry clusters with the spiky leaves paired beautifully with the chipboard elements and all finished of with that beautiful blue and gold ribbon. I would have loved this as a gift bag this Christmas!
Congrats Kathi!
