Butterfly wall

Bold Butterfly meets Borderlines

It's a bright morning here in the West Midlands today and I have a nice bright card for you.

With a mixture of old and new again I created this card closely following one I found on Pinterest I think? If it's yours let me know so I can credit you with idea.  I didn't have the flowers down the wall stamp so substituted the borderlines stamp with some tiny flowers coming dow it instead.  I used my blendabilities to colour some of the pearls and added some sequin trim to finish it off.  Hope my friend liked it? I know I did when it was finished. 

The materials used are:

Ink: Calypso Coral, Mossy Meadow, Versa Mark

Card stock: Calypso Coral, Very Vanilla

Card base: NSU

Stamps: Borderlines (retired), Petite Pairs, Watercolor Wings

Embossing Powder: Calypso Coral (retired)

Embossing folders: Brick Wall

Punches: Itty Bitty Shapes (retired), Large Oval, Scallop Oval

Framelits: Bold Butterfly

Thinlits: Butterflies

DVS: Botanical Gardens

Accessories: Pearls (stash), Sequin Trim Blushing Bride, Wink of Stella Clear

Will be back again soon with more cards

Apothecary art meets petite pairs

Hello there, so glad you dropped by

The weather here has been great this last week and so not a lot of work being done, like to get out and about while the sun shines.

Today is the first of two wedding cards I'm sending this year.  It was back in March and the day after our own anniversary. The day was lovely and the bride looked amazing. 

I used a colour as close to the wedding colours as I could get, and heat embossed all the stamping.  It looked nicer that way (I tried both ways) it was amazingly easy to do, which is how I like my cards to be. The worst part was the Forever and Aways banner, I never seem to be able to do the V shape at either end.  Will need to ask my friend Peg about an easy fix, she's marvellous with all her hints and tips.
