Butterflies in Blues & Greens A Muse Studio Consultants–June Blog Hop

 

It is our June Blog Hop!

A Muse Studio shaving cream 006

If you are participating in the blog hop, (and you really should be!!) you should have come from Samantha Kania's blog and if not, then you should start from the beginning with Samantha's blog until you come to my blog.

We were challenged to create our own DSP (Designer Paper).  I reverted back to one of my favorite techniques, the Shaving Cream & reinkers to make a tie-dye effect.  How easy is this?  Well, most of the butterflies came from paper that my 6 year old son dyed.  It is one of his favorite things to do in the craft room – so it really is also one of mine.  Heck, how often cen we entertain the kiddos with a few squirts of Dollar Store shaving cream & a few drops from the reinkers?  We used Bermuda, Ocean & Grass – my son’s 3 favorite colors this weekend.  (I am sure it is 3 different colors next weekend)

The butterfly die is the smallest from the 3 pack of dies from A Muse Studios set called Butterfly Trio ($8.95 for all 3!).  You can see this die, and others, in the A Muse Studio Catalog & Inspiration Guide. 

(If you peaked at my last post, you will see some stars that we also did this weekend!)

Please, leave me a comment to let me know you stopped by! Hint Hint… There might just be blog candy.  You can follow me on Facebook by clicking here.  (and that might just get you a 2nd entry for the blog candy)

 

Now on to your next stop Sherri Thacker's blog. Enjoy!!

    I've never tried the shaving cream technique but am afraid of letting my 2 and 4 year olds anywhere closer to my craft stuff. Love that son can play with you...maybe I'll be game when they are a little older. Love the softness that the shaving cream technique gives.
