Two Butterfly Cards

For my two cards for Darnell's Twofer Card challenge #5 displaying Butterflies, I decided to use some of my designer paper stash... to help with my colour choices....then to choose a stamp or die cut.... never realised how many of both I to have, all sizes and shapes.  I decided on a stamped image.

My  first DP is faun, cream and pinks... then I stamped my butterfly on a bright pink and cream script piece from the same pack and fussy cut it out before touching up sections of the image with Distress Oxides.  I used the off cuts to die cut some foliage and a strip for my pink stamped and embossed sentiment.

My second DP is a butterfly background on textured card in beige and cream. I decided to stamp my butterflies in brown ink and used sponged Distress Oxides to colour them and then fussy cut them out.  I used cream card stock to cut two foliage sprays and dull gold metallic paper to die cut a label on which I displayed my die cut sentiment...used the same DO inks to colour this.

Thanks for visiting and enjoy your weekend

Butterfly Birthday

          Hi there again from sunny Yeppoon where it's a lovely 23C - my second card is based on the layout from Unscripted Sketches #217 and the colours that Vikki and I chose some time back from the Design Seeds page.  I'm quite happy with my card and hope you're having a super weekend too.  Thanks for taking a peek

Friend card

Morning fellow card makers....a lovely morning here in Karratha and even nicer that I have my chores done and can spend my day here at my desk making cards and keeping in touch with family and friends. This card just fell together from pieces lying about on my messy desk and doesn't follow any particular sketch...just me!
No doubt I'll be back again today, thanks for taking a peek anyway....happying creating

Hi there card makers, here's my version of the OCC challenge sketch. I love the colours, they work for me and these shades are not ones I use often...maybe I should. Thanks for taking a peek...

Hello happy stampers...yes that's right it's Friday (TGIF), yippee only the weekend ahead with no plans at all for me. This gorgeous butterfly was from my stash of prestamped images and it just hovered around my desk all week landing on the right shades of card as I rifled through the drawers. No words on this one, quite often I don't put word till I'm ready to use the card...glad you stopped by for a peek.

Mojo 195, RobVik #7

Hello from my desk here on this gorgeous Saturday. I'm quite happy with my Mojo card this week - it's a male card, probably for my father-in-law's birthday next month. Anyway I'm sure there's no fish in the sea/river with these colourings so I'm calling it a red finned trout - to suit the colours of the card Vikki supplied for our RobVik #7 challenge. I'm liking the colours and the designer card so much I'm going to make four cards from it....so call back to check them out. Enjoy your weekend too whatever you're up to!!

Ok, so here are my four cards from the same card stock Vikki gave me - I wasn't sure at first about the colour combination but the card above shows the cherry red and dark pumpkin orange really well. I am pretty happy with them all and have enjoyed skyping with Vikki again. Thanks for having a look and enjoy your week.
