Simple butterfly - Papillon Potpourri

 See I can do simple cards!
This one is based on texture and just two colours: the Elegant Eggplant and Pool Party colours go very well together don't you think?
My textured cardstock is created with the ever faithful Big shot machine... that I can not do with out.
Behind the butterfly is: Cloudy Day and on the base of the card: Lacy Brocade.

My cute little butterfly is a stamp from "Papillon Potpourri" punched with the Bitty Butterfly punch.
Don't miss those pretty pearls ... I said I have them on everything!
We could make this card at your place - contact me to book your party during May and remember you will receive a FREE Classic INK PAD from me AND $60 extra product when your order reaches $400!!!

Ask me how we can do this for you during May's Hostess special.

Cyber stamp Challenge 2

My second challenge attempt is the colour challenge.
The challenge is to use Raspberry Ripple, Pool Party, Sahara Sand and very Vanilla.
Plus use texture, texture, texture!
My card uses the "thinking of you" stamp inked up with markers in the challenge colours.
For texture - cloudy day embossing folder, sponged with pool party ink, and a piece of Sahara card stock embossed with the fancy fan folder.
I've added Stitched Raspberry ribbon and pool party Satin ribbon, a button and punched butterflies with pearls for more textures to touch and feel.
Lastly, I sprayed it with champagne shimmer mist. I think you can see the glitter in one of the photos where I asked jess to shine a torch on it while I took the photo.

Introducing the Secret Garden!

 

In the Autumn Seasonal Catalogue Stampin' Up! have introduced a new bundle that will make the most fabulous cards, Scapbook pages and flower arrangements. It has only just arrived on my door step and I have spent last weekend creating with it.

The bundle is comprised of a stampset and a set of framelits.

You can buy them separately, or if you buy them in the bundle you get 20% off!

There are 5 flowers, a stem and leaves in the set and each can be cut out with the matching framelits.

I took just three of the flowers, a sentiment, some patterned paper and plain cardstock and came up with this bright cheerful card.

 And then created this bouquet using the whole set of stamps.
You can change the look depending on the colours, cardstock and background textures used.

Stampset: Secret Garden p.17 of the Seasonal caty.

Patterned paper: Print Poetry p.16

Cardstock: Whisper white, Confetti White, Gumball Green, Pacific Point.

Inks: Summer starfruit, Primrose Petals, Pacific Point, gumball green.

Tools: Big shot machine, honeycomb, cloudy day and needlepoint embossing folders.
