Big hugs

Big celebrations at Stamplorations as it is their 5th Birthday... wooohooo Congrats to Sheri and the team.
I was inspired to make this card by Vicki with her Birthday Wishes card (below) on day one ... to use my fab new dies... I cut my die in black and used a bright painted panel (from my experiment stash) to highlight it and then added my large die cut sentiment.  Thanks for visiting and join in the celebration

 

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
