Hello, Swirly Savages!

Today I'm sharing a video tutorial using the scraps of your July kit to create a "waterfall" feature on a card. I used scraps of paper from the July kit as well as ephemera included in the embellishment add on, and flowers from the flower add on. Some paper and ephemera from the Salvage District paper pack was also used. The Salvage District paper pack was a part of the goodies we received at Swirly camp this year.

Here's the video.

Here are some pictures of the finished card.

Typically I open my kit, oooh and aaaah, then I start on the sketch challenge. So, let me share my interpretation of the beautiful July sketch with you. Shhhhh! It's a wedding gift for my husband's nephew. The wedding is this Saturday so don't tell! I Facebook stalked the lovely soon-to-be newlyweds and found their engagement photos to scrap.

There is some random "Congratulations!" stamping on the background. Then, I did some embossing with the Dusty Attic "Heart Attack" stencil and white embossing paste.  The photo mat was cut using a Spellbinders die. The vines were my latest "mooost" have after borrowing Kathi's die at camp. It's a Poppystamps die called Monterey Vine. I used white cardstock and then misted with Color Bloom in Lime Wedge. I added some Tim Holtz Hearts from a past kit and some swirly bling from my stash. Oh, the filmstrip was from a past kit, too. I just cut out the images in the center so I could add my own photos instead.

Now, I loved the "Swirly Girl Challenge" aka SGC again this month. It is hosted by a different Swirlydoos member each month so you never know how you will be challenged!

The front of the card has a "waterfall" feature.  And, here's a video to show you how it opens.
