Flowers & Butterflies

Hi everyone,

 

Hope that your week is going fine and that you are all well.

 

I have posted before that at times I take my inspiration from the colour choices in Design Series Papers and I must say one of my favourite papers at the moment is the Attic Boutique DSP in the Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue.

 

The paper has colours: Poppy Parade, Pool Party, Soft Suede, Daffodil Delight, Very Vanilla and Whisper White.

 

I wanted to use some yellow and I knew I had some Daffodil Delight ribbon, so used a section of the DSP with some Daffodil Delight on it.

 

So my colour choices are Daffodil Delight, Pool Party and Soft Suede and Very Vanilla. 

 

I have used my ribbon, ‘bling’ of course and something that I rarely use - some pearls, so I have gone very girly!  I am collecting a number of cards Mum would like, so my choice for Mother’s Day will be interesting :)

 

The sketch for my card is from Sketchy Colors and you can see it here.

 

I have used the Just Believe stamp set and my Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die.  If you haven’t used this die, it embosses the butterflies and cuts them out in one go!  I keep the extra butterflies that I do not use in a container and they always come in handy.

 

The image was stamped in Daffodil Delight and sort of wiped with the Soft Suede inkpad before I stamped it on Very Vanilla card stock.

 

Here is my card:

I nearly gave up with the layout because I could get the right look but once I added the other piece of DSP on the top section of the card, I was happy.

Simply Happy Birthday

Hi everyone,

 

Hope your Easter was safe and wonderful.  We had a lovely time together and the Easter Bunny definitely found his way to our home!

 

I have a card to share with you and again I have used some of the new Attic Boutique DSP, hmm a definite favourite at the moment.

 

The base card is Poppy Parade and the flower is form the Array of Sunshine Hostess Stamp Set. 

 

The flower has been stamped three times and cut out and layered with dimensionals.  I have added touch of Daffodil Delight ink with a dauber to the smallest layer. 

 

There is ‘bling’ in the centre and the sentiment is from the Happiest Birthday Wishes Hostess Stamp Set.
