Kinda Eclectic Butterfly Card

Hello Everyone,

I've had a busy day for the start of the weekend here, with a class first up this morning.  We were making Christmas cards today, and as I've been making quite a few, I felt the need for a change up with today's card.  I wanted some butterflies today....lol.  You know how I feel about butterflies.

These layered butterflies have been stamped on vellum with Baked Brown Sugar ink and heat set with Irridescent embossing powder.  Come and have a look.



The design of this card was inspired by the work of Shanna Gaff.  I changed some of the colours.  The abstract Sun and butterflies come from the stamp set Kinda Eclectic and the sentiment "Just Because" comes from a set called "A Dozen Thoughts".  My base card is Sahara Sand, with a layer of Whisper White card, and of course, Velum for the Butterflies.  The gold glimmer strips are actually the past product of the sheet from my Watercolour Winter Simply Sent kit.  The Inks used here are Hello Honey and Baked Brown Sugar.

Heres the full picture of the card.


It was finished off with some Gold Bakers Twine.  This was a very easy card, but also elegant in its simplicity.  Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Hope you have a great weekend.

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
