Wishing you comfort

Hi everyone! I had to get lost in some ink tonight to relax after a very busy and stressful week, and it's only Wednesday!!!! Here's what I did with this weeks Mojo Monday sketch #305.

Sentiment is from Verve. I used Rustic cream cardstock from PTI and the blue green paper is from an old cardstock pack I've had forever from Colorbok. Designer paper is from Basic Grey.

Dragonfly die is from Memory Box and it's wings are cut from blue vellum. I did use the old flower embossing folder from Provo Craft on the very back panel but it kind of hidden behind the dp.

I'm also adding this to this weeks Flutter By challenge since it's an open any winged creature week. Which is great cuz I finally get to use a dragonfly! 

Thanks for stopping by!

FBW #241 - Butterfly

Hi everyone, since I'm on vacation this week I've had plenty of opportunities to be creative and participate in some sketch challenges.  This is for Flutter by Wednesday's sketch challenge this week. 

Butterfly is an old Stampin Up! stamp that I love to pull out periodically. I stamped it in Versafine then heat embossed withe clear embossing powder. I used Copic markers in Y13, Y17, Y35, Y38 and R17 to color it. Decided to do a bit of fussy cutting and then popped it up using foam tape. The green leaves in the back ground are done using Wild Wasabi ink and PTI's turning a new leaf stamp set.

Designer paper is Bazzill Swiss dots and lasting impressions. Kaisercraft yellow pearls added per the sketch.

Thanks for dropping by!

Holly

Hi everyone! I've been messing around with this card for a few days and still I'm not sure if I'm happy with it or not.

The fairy is a digital stamp from Bugaboo and colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen and a stardust pen.

I used some golden colored vellum and put it behind a piece of printer paper and cut out the scalloped circle to go around the main image. I struggled finding a color that went with the colors I used on her to layer with and this is the best I came up with.

The holly around her is a die from Memory Box that I cut up and glued down. Added some berries with liquid pearls. Not sure if I like this addition or not, but it's glued down now so I'm stuck with it.

Holly embossing folder is from Provo Craft and I love that it's a 5x7 folder!

So, give me some feedback on this one! I would appreciate suggestions at this point!

Flutterby challenge card

Hi there! I had fun trying to come with a card using the colors black, purple, orange and green for this weeks Flutterby challenge. Here's my result.

Butterfly stamp is from Magenta and is colored with Copics in the following colors: V12, V15 and V17.

I cut it out using a rectangle die and layered it with the lattice rectangle from Spellbinders. Argyle purple designer paper is K&Company and the green cardstock is from Hot Off The Press. The hello stamp is from Tag Tid Bits from TAC. I used a border punch to make the design on the tag and added three orange brads.

On another note - I hate my corner rounders with a passion. They never seem to cut clean, you know what I mean? Does anyone have a favorite that you would recommend?

Spread your wings

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't posted much this week - been extremely busy with the day job.

Here's a quick card I made using scraps based upon the challenge over at Fluttery By Wednesday.

Stamps are from Papertrey Ink called Butterfly Dreams. Butterfly is colored in Copics, however it was a little to small to get some good blending of colors. The faux stitching is done using the border punch from Fiskars. All layers are from my scrap stash except for the white card base.

Thanks for stopping in.

Orange Butterfly

Hello! I decided to join in on the Flutter By challenge this week since it was an open challenge. Which was good since I think my mojo is missing!


This card has a lot of texture going on. The ivory cardstock is embossed with the leaf folder from Sizzix and the thin chipboard is done with the lattice embossing folder. I embossed it after I cut it out using the labels die, then sponged around it with French Roast pigment ink.

The butterfly stamp comes from Memory Box and is colored with Copic markers. The corresponding die was used to cut it out and it's popped up with foam tape.

The card base is certainly celery (guessing here) from SU. I purchased a bunch of pre-scored SU cardstock off of ebay a few years back and have no clue what colors were included.

Thanks for stopping in!

Butterfly thank you!

Here's my creation for the Wednesday Flutter by challenge, which you can find here!


This retired stamp is from The Angel Company's 2003/2004 catty and is called Buggy Postage. I did alter the stamp a bit and took out the "joy" that was just above the wings. Sentiment is from PTI.

Designer paper is from the scrap booking section (long gone, I think) from Current Magazine. I distressed the edge of the blue dp with a pair of scissors. Black cardstock used as the card base and layers.

Colored with Copic markers in the following: YR02,YR04,YR07, G21,G24,B0000,B00, B02,C00, and C1. I decided to use the SCS sketch from this past week as a starting point. I did twist it up a bit and made it a A2 card instead of a square card.

Have a great weekend!

Butterfly in flight

Hey everyone! Here's a card I completed (late, but it's done) for the Flutter by Wednesday challenge. This one was a sketch challenge, which was fun to work with!

The butterfly stamp is from Magenta and colored with Prismacolor pencils and blended with OMS. I cut it out and popped it up using some small squares of foam tape. The wings are slightly bent to look like it's in flight. I doubt you can tell in the photo, but it looks great IRL.

That yummy designer paper is from Washi Accents that I bought in a big sheet at a stamp show this past year. It's double sided and worked really well for this card....I've been hoarding it forever!

Thanks for stopping by!
