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.

Magnolia Blooms Perennially

Magnolia Blooms image with Perennial Essence paper and Noble Peacock Foil Sheet

My flower didn't turn out exactly as I wanted it because, lacking Purple Posy ink, I stamped the image with Petal Pink which shows more than I would have liked.

The flower is coloured with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers.

It's very difficult to capture in a photograph the beautiful shiny colour of the Noble Peacock Foil Sheets!

Sailing Home Across The Birch

The Birch stamp is used for water in this seaside scene

Adaptation and versatility - two of my favourite words when it comes to crafting.  That's because they usually hang out with creativity and good value!  It's also fun to find new ways to use what we have in our craft rooms.

For this card, I used the Birch background stamp in a different way.  Using white ink on the Pacific Point cardstock gives an impression of water.  I inked up the stamp and then pressed  half of the cardstock (with even pressure) down onto it which provides a horizon.

I stamped the yacht and lighthouse onto Whisper White cardstock with Memento black ink and then coloured with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers.  The coordinating Smooth Sailing dies in the bundle (buy as a bundle for 10% saving) made it very easy to cut them out before adhering to the card front.

I also stamped the birds with same black ink.

I'd like to thank the very creative Jay Soriano of Mitosu Crafts for the idea of using the seaweed die to create waves.  I like using a darker colour towards the bottom (or foreground) to provide balance to the scene.

Thank you for visiting.

Tin Tile Daisy Delight

A very simple card using the Daisy Delight stamp, Daisy punch and Tin Tile 3D embossing folder

There's really not a lot to say about this card - it's very simple!

The daisy is stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink on three shades of cardstock: Blackberry Bliss, Rich Razzleberry and Purple Posy - each cut out with the Daisy Punch.

The background is a piece of the gorgeous Noble Peacock Foil Sheet embossed with the Tin Tile 3D embossing folder.

I cut a scrap of Rich Razzleberry card to size and wrapped some of the ribbon around it.

Glitter Enamel Dots make up the centre of the flower which is attached with a Stampin' Dimensional.
