Butterfly Note

Hi Everyone,
I have been playing around with my alcohol inks. I made this panel using purples an d blue and was not so happy with how it looked, but I thought It would be perfect under that pretty Poppy Stamp die cut. I won that die cut from Poppy Stamps a little while ago by playing in their challenge - THANK YOU Poppy Stamps, I love it!


The sentiment is an old set from Papertrey. The paper under it is from one of those envelopes you get in the mail - you may want to check out their insides - sometimes its really pretty! I mounted the sentiment with foam tape. I also added more little butterflies - those are by Memory Box and some sequins.


I love how this turned out - alcohol inks = really cool!

That beautiful background works great behind that very pretty die cut. Great way to use it when you're not too sure of it...however I am sure it was fantastic! The sentiment and how you've done it, is perfect x Well done on the poppy die win x

Amazing save. Alcohol inks of glossy (vs Yupo)? Love the shine

I love that die set, lucky you winning that. The inked panel looks fab poking through the empty space. :)

Yep. This is most definitely a winner. First of all, that alcohol ink background pulls your eyes right out of your head...but covered with that amazing die, it just captures one's interest immediately. And who knew that envelope lining could be so interesting...certainly, not me.
Fantastic job resurrecting something you weren't in love with. I think it looks wonderful and purposeful! Just gorgeous under that die.

Thanks for celebrating our 100th post with us at Cut it Up!

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

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
