So Suzy - Dancing Butterflies

 Hi Everyone,

I am back today with another card I made from the wonderful So Suzy June release:


I just thought the butterflies and sentiment go beautifully together and could make a really pretty sympathy card.
The stamp is called Blowing Butterflies.


And this is the sentiment:
 I used black and yellow Brusho powders to create the background. I waited until it was dry before I heat embossed the butterflies and sentiment. 



I picked up some of the color with a water brush and painted in some of the butterflies to make them stand out a bit more: 


I trimmed off some of the side and used dark blue card stock as border. Added some sequins and rounded the right hand corner.


In case you are tempted to order stamps ;)

Fabulous background with the brusho's and loving the colour combination of the black and yellow. The white embossing pops against it, thank you for the inspiration x

Awesome. The black Brusho has so many other colors in it. And lifting some of the color from the butterflies is a brilliant idea. Really beautiful card with that amazing sentiment. Made me verklempt.

Der Hintergrund ist ja wild geworden. Die Schmetterlinge können davor nur tanzen, sonst werden sie ganz wirr im Kopf und wissen überhaupt nicht mehr, wie sie fliegen sollen *lach mich schlapp*
Liebe Grüße

Großartig!! Die Brushos sind schon mega geil!!
Well Cornelia, YOU TEMPTED ME AND I GAVE IN!!!
LOL!! After I stopped drooling about his gorgeous card, I went ahead and ordered a few beautiful stamps, they have some really awesome images.
But back to your amazing card.....the colors and the way you made this wash is truly spectacular, I need to learn to do this but I always feel intimidated by this technique, I just end up with a muddy mess. I guess I need to keep trying, right?
Thank you for sharing and for the coupon code, I can't wait till the stamps arrive.
Big Hugs,
Maria Rodriguez.

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Addicted to Stamps and More #134 and Spotlight Sneak Peek

Hi Everyone, Its challenge time at  ATSM ! For the next two week its going to be CAS - just my thing! And hopefully yours, too! I made a birthday card, because for some reason I always need more and never seem to have enough.... I was inspired by this weeks Make it Monday , where the talented  Ashley Newell  shows us a video about  stamps and doodling. Since I  mainly own die cuts from Papertrey and not so many stamps that would fit this theme I made my own out of fun foam, using my latest Papertrey dies (just got the order a few days ago) and cut those in fun foam - it works so well - voila - you have our own stamps, spending only a fraction of the money! I doodled around the stamps as you can see. Gives you kind of a cool effect....a little more tremor and one would think I drank too much ;) Added tiny enamel dots - do you know about this month House of Cards challenge - its enamel dots - thought I'll let you know..... Our wonderful spons...
