Some Butterfly Love

Hello Everyone,

I'm sorry I've been absent a couple of days.  I felt the need to have a little break after such a sad week last week and so I gave myself permission to have some time off.  The Can You Case It? team also kindly let me have a break from posting a card yesterday as well, but I will share their challenge and be raring to go with a card for them in the next one.

I love butterflies as most of you know, so they are the only cards I've felt like making.  Today I'm dedicating this card to a friend and I've used a combination of Papillon Potpourri, Wood Panel Background, Expression Thinlits and Irresistibly Yours patterned papers.  It's a masculine butterfly card, if there is such a thing.  Come and have a look.




I love all the different textures used here.   The cardstock used is Basic Black, Whisper White and Crumb Cake.  The Whisper White background was embossed with the Woodgrain embossing folder and the Irresistibly Yours leafy paper was brayered with Old Olive ink.  Here's the full view of the card.



Neutral Candy Dots have been added to the top left corner of the card.  The butterfly was punched with the Elegant Butterfly punch and layered onto an extra punched black one to create a shadow effect.

Thanks so much for stopping by the see my card.  Have a great day.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch.

Light up your Christmas

Hi Everyone, You all know how I love my Easel Cards right?  Well I've added a little light to them in the form of the little battery operated candles.  Neil bought me some boxes of them online.  I've been playing around with a couple of different designs which are for an upcoming class of very Special Christmas cards with my group but thought you might like to see them.  This is the first one I've done using the retired stamp set Christmas Lodge.  It's a gorgeous set with this beautiful tree and really suits a vintage style Christmas Card.  I've also used the Deco Label Framelits which are fast becoming a favourite and the Beautifully Baroque and Fancy Fan Embossing Folders. The Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I have the light on so you can see the gorgeous effect from the little candle.  Here is a photo when it's off. This is how it looks from the side.  It's like a tent.  Extra card was added to the len
