Butterfly Splatters

Made another card for the PCC419 Sketch Challenge at Paper Craft Crew. Inked up my Butterfly Splatter Stamp with Daffodil Delight, and stamped the TSOL Sentiment with Pumpkin Pie Ink. Cut the white oval then matted it with another oval using the Designer Paper from Stampin' Up in Bermuda Bay. Die cut a few butterflies with the Beautiful Wings Embosslit using more of the dp in Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie. Added a strip of Bermuda Bay for the final element of the sketch. This is such an easy card to put together - I think I'm going to make several more with different combinations of Brights. Thanks for looking!

SUPPLIES USED:

DIES:  Spellbinders-Nestabilities: Ovals; Stampin' Up Embosslits: Beautiful Wings

Dotted Birthday

Made this card using the sketch for this the PCC419 Sketch Challenge at Paper Craft Crew. Inked the sides of the oval with Distress Oxide Inks using a dotted stencil, cut an oval outline in order to give the card more white space (so that it could be entered in Challenge #439 - CAS Inking at Less Is More ). Added a few die cuts in bright colors and stamped the sentiment with the much-loved Stampin' Up Tempting Turquoise. Not sure if this quite qualifies for Less is More, but this is quite the challenge for me and I will continue to keep trying to get there! Thanks for stopping by!

This is the third card that I am adding to the Wednesday Card Challenge - Two or More Patterned Papers at Simon Says Stamp.

Now I definitely need to switch back to my obligatory birthday cards because I need at least 10 for April & May! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Tempting Turquoise/Gold Flower Power (3 of 4)

Adding another card to the Wednesday Card Challenge - Two or More Patterned Papers at Simon Says Stamp. For this card, I used the Scalloped Squares Dies and rounded the corners of the sentiment and background panels. The sentiment is from TSOL. To add interest, I cut thin strips of the patterned olive paper and matted them onto the olive cardstock. The pattern looks so different when you cut it in thin strips! Thanks for stopping by!

Tempting Turquoise/Gold Flower Power (2 of 4)

Since I had a few extra stamped/cut flowers and all the extra paper still out on my craft table, I decided to make more cards. I spend most of my crafting time making cards that I 'have to' make - the calendar dictates who gets a card - so I don't often get the chance just to 'play'. With the supplies all out and all the color choices made, all I needed was a sketch to get me started. Once again, Splitcoaststampers came through with SC845! 

For this card, I added some leaves that I stamped and fussy-cut. The sentiment is from MFT's You're The Sweetest and the stitches were added to the sentiment strip by using my stitched rectangle dies and carefully cutting one edge at a time using a longer but much wider rectangle die. Love the added touch the stitch marks bring! 

I found two more coordinating patterned papers, so this card will be entered into the Wednesday Challenge at Simon Says Stamp. Since it is also a birthday card, it will be entered into the Game #23 - Patterned Paper Birthday Challenge at AAA Birthday.  Thanks for looking!

Tempting Turquoise/Gold Flower Power (1 of 4)

Received these adorable flower stamps for free with my recent purchase at Scrapbook.com and when I found this old paper in my stash,  I just had to use them! I stamped a whole bunch of these cute little flowers with Tempting Turquoise Ink. Since the ink matches the paper, I stamped several times using my MISTI in order to make the outline darker. I never stamp without using that wonderful tool - it has made stamping accurately so much easier! 

I fussy-cut the flowers and added some Nuvo drops for just the right amount of shine. Fussy-cutting these was not difficult at all! I die cut the beautiful edges border from Altenew out of Old Olive paper. Used that same color along with a lighter turquoise for my die-cut circles, then adhered everything using Gina K Connect Glue. I really like how easy it is to use that glue and how good it works. I know this glue is out-of-stock frequently, but I managed to buy some more so hoping that my supply lasts awhile.

Thanks for stopping by!
