As promised, I'm using up some pieces I've cut while going through some of my dies.
The "thanks" was cut with a Cuttlebug die from some shiny, textured black. It looked so cool all alone, that I didn't want to add much to it. I matted with a small piece of Real Red that was already cut and in my scraps. The sparkly flower is from Prima. I added a glittery red brad to the center. The card base is vanilla - even though it looks white!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
This week's Flutter By Wednesday challenge is another great sketch by Kathy. You can find the sketch to the left and also on the Flutter By Wednesday blog. Be sure to check out the fabulous creations by the design team - such talent! We'd love to have you join in the fun.
My card uses a digital image from Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps called Butterfly and Flower. I colored it with Copics and added Star Dust Stickles to the butterfly. I sponged some Soft Sky ink over the image while I still had it in the Nestability. I matted with black, cutting the matting with another Nestability, and mounted on Dimensionals. The border on the horizontal layer was punched with a Fiskars punch. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.

I've had some time to spend in my stamping room lately, but haven't really gotten much completed. I've had fun, though, going through some little embossing folders and dies. I've cut some pieces and have them ready to use on cards, so hopefully you'll be seeing some of them soon. I did make a Christmas card yesterday, but it was fairly similar to one I'd already made, so I didn't post it.
For this card, I started with the cute little elephant, cut with a small Cuttlebug die. I cut her from textured grey. I mounted her on pink, doodled around the edges, added black gems for her eyes, matted with black and mounted on Dimensionals. The bottom is the same textured grey matted with black. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.

A clean and simple birthday card for today, with no flowers! Well, unless you count the tiny one on her head:)
I embossed this cute little elephant with a small Cuttlebug folder. I added tiny gems for her eyes and for the flower center. The sentiment is a little one I got from someone once upon a time and I can't tell you who it's from. I stamped it with Real Red ink and added a tiny black gem for the dot on the "i". I matted with Real Red cardstock and mounted on Dimensionals. The embossing was done on ivory and the card base is Papertrey Ink kraft.

This week's Flutter By Wednesday challenge is to use buttons on your creation - plus your butterfly or fairy, of course! The design team has some very wonderful offerings for you - check them out on the blog. Then create your own masterpiece, upload it to your blog or on-line gallery, and link it up to the Flutter By Wednesday blog.
I've had these petals laying around for quite a while, left over from this card. They worked perfectly for today's challenge! I drew the stems and leaves and glued on the petals. Then I added the buttons for the centers. The butterflies are punched with a Martha Stewart punch. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink. I arched it before stamping and then embossed with white. We'd love to have you join the fun challenge this week!
