Free like a Butterfly…

Hi everyone,

 

How are you going?  I am well and happy that I can share another card with you.

 

Today I have created a card for two challenges:

 

1. a colour challenge from Create with Connie & Mary # CCMC146 and
2. then a sketch layout from Clean & Simple # 135!

 

Both challenges are below for you to see and you can visit the sites if you click on the images.

 

 

 

 

I must admit this colour challenge took a lot of thought, as the colours are bright colours.

 

In the end I  decided on using Real Read for the base of the card and with some Very Vanilla in the mix, I think the end result is quite good!

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: All a Flutter, Sense of Time

Card: Pacific Point, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Very Vanilla
Ink: Pacific Point, Pumpkin Pie

Accessories:  Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Nestabilities, 3/16” (0.5 cm) Corner Small Punch,  Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

I love this butterfly image from the All a Flutter stamp set – this is a single image that can be purchased out of the current catalogue.

 

Please leave me a comment if you get a chance but remember to spend a little time creating !!!

 

Until next time….. Meg x

Beautiful Butterfly

Hi everyone, how was your Monday?  Mine was busy but I cannot complain.

 

I have completed this card using the sketch challenge from Connie & Mary Thursday Challenge Sketch number CCM140 as well as the color challenge from Pals Paper Arts PPA83.

 

 

 

 

I have used Soft Suede for the base of my card and the Baja Breeze print from the Greenhouse Gala DSP.

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: All a Flutter

Card: Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze, Whisper White
Ink: Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze

Accessories:  1-3/4” (4.4 cm) Scallop Circle Extra-Large Punch, 3/8” (1 cm) Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon, Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

I stamped the butterfly in Crumb Cake and then coloured in parts of the butterfly in with the Baja Breeze marker.

 

I like the card but I must admit I am still working on that perfect bow, but I will keep trying.

 

Hope you are finding time to do some creations of your own !

 

Thanks for stopping bye and please visit again soon…… Meg x

Greenhouse Gala – Birthday Cards

I have created some birthday cards using the Greenhouse Gala DSP.  This DSP has really grown on me – the bright mixture of colours in the papers give such life to the cards.

 

I have used the new In-Color Concord Crush as the base card for two of the cards and it has
co-ordinated well with the Greenhouse Gala DSP.  This is not a colour I thought I would use that much but I have had to purchase a new A4 pack recently!

 

To colour the butterfly I inked the stamp in Pumpkin Pie and then rolled the outside in the Concord Crush.

 

 

Below are the two cards that I made that used Concord Crush cardstock as the base.

 

 

 

Supplies:
Stamp set: Perfect Punches, On Your Birthday, All a Flutter
Card: Concord Crush, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White
Ink: Concord Crush, Pumpkin Pie

Accessories:  5/8” (1.6 cm) Whisper White Satin Ribbon, 2” x 1 3/8” (5 x 3.5 cm) Oval Extra-Large, Dimensonals, SNAIL Adhesive, Mat Pack, Greenhouse Gala DSP

 

For the last card I used Baja Breeze cardstock for the base card.

 

 

Supplies:
Stamp set: Occasional Quotes (Hostess set), All a Flutter
Card: Baja Breeze, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White
Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Concord Crush

Accessories:  Mat Pack, Greenhouse Gala DSP, Dimensonals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

Thanks for stopping by.. please come back and visit again soon.
