I made this double slider a few days ago and I must admit There are many ways of doing this double slider... BUT, the easiest way for me is just like how AMBER does hers, BUT there is also a Great tutorial by Susanne Moyer on SCS on how to do these double sliders also with step by step directions .. For my double slider used apricot appeal along with black and whisper white CS , I also used Black ink for all images with apricot appeal for a tone on tone look for the background ,and then on the apricot appeal CS I used the white gel pen to color in the flowers, and doodling around the top and bottom edges on the matted front . Then on the whisper white I colored in the flowers with the Apricot appeal marker. I also added tiny black dots with the black marker on the top slide out between the flowers and onto the pedals of the flowers on the matted front image .. I then added GG ribbon in Black with black gingham ribbon to bring it all together .. I really enjoy making cards that have movement and this is one of my favorites types ..
WOWZIE this morning is in the single digits for the temps here in Michigan Just hearing that snow and ice crunch when my hubby left this morning for work gave me a chill to my bones .. It is a whole 9 degrees outside this early morning .. Now thats down right Freezing .
So did you all watch American Idol last night ? While hubby was at a Mens seminar at church Jessie and I had fun watching the 2 hour season premier and of course another show tonight that we May have to TIVO cause we don't want to miss it if we stay at Church late ..Loving Our TIVO guys .. It rocks .. But what I am soooo excited about is LOST returns on Feb 7th YAHOO! I can hardly wait...
Well I got everything cut and and ready to go for my Stampers club meeting on Saturday .. I will share a sneak peek of what we all will be making soon so stay tuned .. I have to finish up my project worksheets and also get the sign up sheets ready for my next round of Clubs starting in March . I am going to keep my next round of clubs smaller so we can meet at my house each month . Jessie has mid term exams this week at school starting today . so I'm praying she will do well with those.
Have a Wonderful Wednesday everyone and Thanks so much for peeking in today .. Stay warm today .
Until later .. Happy Stampin!
