Beautiful Day For A Golden Butterfly

This birthday card features the butterfly from the Beautiful Day stamp set, Golden Glitz metallic ink
and a gold-infused watercolour background

This card uses another of the Golden Glitz infused watercolour backgrounds that I made a little while ago.  This one has a base of Gray Granite cardstock.

I've also used the same methodology as I did for this card but using the butterfly image instead of the flower.  The little gold butterflies in the background are stamped with the Butterfly Gala stamp set.

To my Blackberry Bliss base card, I added a layer of So Saffron cardstock followed by the decorative panel.

Thank you for visiting.

'Til next time!

You Move Me - Sympathy Card

I normally keep at least one sympathy card in my stash but this week, when I needed one, my cupboard was bare.  This left me in the terrible position of creating a card while fighting back the tears - not an ideal situation.

My incorrectly stamped butterfly from You Move Me - I corrected it later!

So I used my You Move Me bundle for the first time along with the hostess set, Background Bits.  I made an error in my use of the You Move Me stamps - when I took these photos, I had not yet worked out that the process required stamping both of the butterfly stamps!  Eventually I worked out why my butterfly wasn't fluttering very much and corrected the situation.  I will add a little video of the corrected version as time allows.

I used the Sponge Brayer to add Smoky Slate ink to Very Vanilla card (a heavier coating at the bottom of the piece)  before stamping the flowers in Basic Black.

I used a Lots of Labels framelit to create the tag pull

I added a piece of window sheet behind the "grill" to provide some longevity - I was worried that the tag might catch one of the horizontal strips.  I also added a pink frame by another grill and then removing the horizontal strips.

Since my sadness is still rather overwhelming, there's not a lot more that I can say right now except 

Thank you for visiting.
