Butterflies....
Supplies: Distress Inks; Distress Crackle Paint; Distress Stickles; Grunge Board (flowers, butterflies, dragonfly); Canvas Concepts Natural Canvas
Monarch -
I used Black Stickles to draw on the segments of the wings/body. Once it was dry, I filled in each of the sections with Spiced Marmalade Distress Stickles.
Flowers -
Here are some of the layered flowers I made using multiple flowers from the Nature Grunge Board shapes... You'll notice that the camera doesn't like all that glitter too much...when it's aimed directly at the glitter it freaks out the auto focus.
NOW...
for the give-a-way....
In honor of turkey day tomorrow...tell me what your favorite part of the meal is....
Mine is the Pumpkin Pie & Cool Whip! Yes, that's a pair ~ you can't have one without the other in my book. And honestly if you ask my family in my case it would be Cool Whip & Pumpkin Pie ;) It always has and probably always will be - LOL!!!
If you're not from the US and don't celebrate Thanksgiving tomorrow then tell me what your favorite holiday meal is...any holiday...
What will you win??? Well Distress Stickles of course!
I'll choose 3 different colors (it's a surprise silly) to send you ~ wish it could be all of them but I haven't won the lottery or anything - LOL!!!
You have until 11-30 to post your favorite Thanksgiving (or other holiday) meal.
Good Luck everyone :)
My favorite is the pumpkin pie and Cool Whip too!!
ReplyDeleteROFLOL....ahhhh kindred spirits!!
ReplyDeleteI'm from Brunei and we celebrate Aidilfitri( in some countries, Eid Mubarak). Every Aidilfitri, I always look forward for my hubby's aunt homecook Lontong (it is a dish consists of rice (it is cooked in a special kind of leaf) and coconut curry gravy mixed vegetable)
ReplyDeletemmm..I can't wait for the baked sweet potatoes and glazed carrots. There's just something about actually trying to make veggies unhealthy that hits the spot!
ReplyDeleteI love the traditional family meal with all the wonderful food. But my fav would be a turkey sandwich with stuffing, cranberry and mayo on homemade white toast. we eat them at night by the fire.YUM!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - thanks for the ideas on how to use them. I just picked up a few a couple of weeks ago and am exploring ways how to use them and love the way you featured them. I'd love the chance to win more. My fave dish is my grandmom's lemon meringue pie. YUM!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the Distress Stickles butterfly~WOW!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal is the juicey dark meat from the turkey drumstick with a little dressing in the bite... I'm not a "foods can't touch person".
Not kindred spirits here, Roni~ I love real cream whipped with powdered sugar (with a little pumpkin pie) for my Thanksgiving Day Finale!
Stuffing! (You are what you eat, remember, and I have a LOT of stuffing in me! *grin*)
ReplyDeleteI few years ago I started my own tradition of spending Thanksgiving helping out a charity - an animal shelter or soup kitchen. Well, since the tragedy in August, I have worked 112 days straight and am beyond the point of complete exhaustion. My brother is coming up to care for mom this weekend and he is giving me 2 whole days off. So, this year I am picking MYSELF as the charity in need and I am going to SLEEP, eat, do art, read, play with the kitty and SLEEP some more. I can't wait. I won't get turkey tomorrow, but that's OK. Right now I would trade an entire Thanksgiving feast for a NAP! lol
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving long weekend, everyone. I know we all have so much to be grateful for... including Distress Stickles!!!!!
Thanksgiving has got to be the best Holiday for eating...I'm partial to sweet potato casserole. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgivng. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
ReplyDeletemy favorite part of the meal is the tortilla soup that I make the next day using leftover turkey and stock made from the turkey carcass!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite?? Breast meat with gravy!! And even better is leftover turkey for turkey sandwiches!! Oh my, I'm starting to drool!!!!
ReplyDeleteI had to lol at your cool whip and pumpkin pie comment - that's how I eat mine as well. I think now that you mention is, this is also my fav part, but I also love turkey with fresh cranberry relish. Yum!!
ReplyDeleteIt has to be the leftovers. Turkey sandwiches with dressing and cranberry sauce, oh my! And I'm not sure you can have pumpkin pie without Cool Whip, can you? It just doesn't seem right.
ReplyDeleteYour samples are gorgeous. I would love to try out the ranger stickles as I have most of the other colors in the stickles family. Darn it, just when I think that I have it all, they have to come out with new colors/products. Now I'll never catch up! ;)
ReplyDeleteHowever, the one thing I look forward to each year is homemade apple/pumpkin pie and the mini bottles of sparkling apple cider.
That's it for me ~Timna
Love the butterfly. Too pretty. My favorite dish is mashed potatoes and gravy. My mom makes the best mashed potatoes!!! She also makes some awesome cranberry stuff. It's like cranberry sauce but, it's got tons of extra touches. She rocks!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm from the UK and my favourite meal would have to be a turkey christmas dinner with all the trimmings. Yum!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!!
Can I name one for each and every festive season ? LOL. Well at the next celebrations I'm looking forward to turkey stuffing - no gravy, nothing, just a big bowl of the stuffing.

hello. im cabbie from manila, philippines. my favorite holiday meal is the noche buena or the eve meal before christmas day... we prepare anything from ham, chicken to desserts or any that will suite our appetite in preparation for the day of christmas. we eat this sumptuous meal at 12 midnight usually though some people have this dinner time.
ReplyDeleteturkey stuffing made from sourdough bread.....the best food in the world with a side dish of homemade cranberry relish. If you want the recipe and how to make it let me know..........it's also good to snack on in the middle of the night......that's the only time I will wake up to eat anything at night........Oh so G-O-O-D!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll be happy with JUST the pumpkin pie (with lots of cool whip!) - I can skip the rest of the meal, lol! Just give me A pie...
ReplyDeleteThe best part of a Thanksgiving meal, at least to me, is preparing it! I love to cook a large meal and I get great satisfaction doing it :) I always, always look forward to pumpkin pie with whipped cream - Yum!
ReplyDeleteHappy Turkey Day!
Wow! Love the combo of stickles and crackle on your butterflies piece! My favorite part of Thanksgiving dinner is the stuffing!!! yum yum!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part is the dessert! Pumpkin pie or apple, it doesn't matter to me as long as it comes with ice cream and whipped cream. Of course, I need a tall glass of milk to wash it all down with. ;)
ReplyDeleteHmmm.. let me think. I think I look forward to stuffing myself with all of the goodies; turkey, mashed 'tatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and pie. I also have to have a glass of sparkling cranberry apple. Yum!
