Donna Salazar Designs

Hi, it's Tracey here to share a card I created featuring Donna's GCD Studios Natural Beauty and Family Jean's Collections, along with lots of other Donna Salazar Designs goodies!! Birthdays are special events in our family, and I enjoy making handcrafted cards to celebrate! 

I want to thank Donna for giving me the opportunity to continue designing with her fabulous products. I'm so excited and honored to be part of this amazing team! 

Tips and Techniques:

Donna's Spellbinders Wonderful Wings Dies are my favorite butterfly dies. Here I cut a butterfly shadow from Donna's Want2Scrap Canvas and centered the coordinating Want2Scrap Bling onto the die cut canvas. I rubbed Donna's Clearsnap Mix'd Media Inx in Chiffon and Honey onto the canvas. Donna's Want2Scrap BYOB was just perfect for the butterfly trail. I added a Bitty Blossoms flower for a girlie touch.  

The doily is cut with Spellbinders Ironwork Accents. I wrapped some white metallic cording through each side. 

Have you tried out Donna's GCD Studio's Mixed Media Stax 2 yet? These flowers and leaves are cut with her bitty blossoms dies from the luscious mulberry paper in the Stax. I colored them with Mix'd Media Inx and topped the leaves with gems from Donna's Want2Scrap Build Your Own Bling set. I just love how Donna thinks through each and every product she creates to coordinate with her other product lines. Finally, I dabbed Clearsnap Glue Gloss on the flowers, leaves and around the edges of the card, then sprinkled with Donna's Clearsnap Fairy Dust Glitter. 

I created this girlie birthday word art sentiment in Photoshop. The border was cut with Spellbinders Ironwork accents, and snippets of Donna's Want2Scrap Bling to accent the border. I machine stitched the edges, then made quick work of distressing with my handy dandy Zutter Distrezz-It-All by Donna.

Finally, this girlie grunge card needed just a bit of lace, so I stamped this lovely lace piece using Donna's Art Gone Wild Cotton Lace Stamp with Jasmine Inx, then heat embossed using Clearsnap Jasmine Embossing Powder. I fussy cut it out to tuck into the layers. You can see more of the sparkly Fairy Dust Glitter across the top here. 

Thanks for stopping by today to take a look at my card. I hope you have been inspired to pull out your Donna Salazar products and create a girlie grunge card for one of the special people in your life.
