I don’t know why, but these colors remind me of a Dreamscicle.  This card is actually left over pieces I had laying on my table.  The half circles are leftovers of a Nestabilities frame I was cutting and I hung on to them.  After playing around with them a little bit, they reminded me of a butterfly.  I pulled out a silver photo turn and melted embossing powder on it and wrapped it with sparkly thread  and added a bling for the head.  The antenna are the stamen of a flower from my stash.

 

This was a quick and easy card, 4"x4" which is small for me.   If it works out, I have another one planned from my scrap pile.  All in all, an easy blogging day!  Wishing you much joy today! 

Supplies:
Stamps:  Printworks – Small Tag Lines
Paper: Bazzill, Paper Adventures – Petite Pink Posies
Ink: Versamark, SU Cameo Coral
Accessories: Nestabilities, Photo Turn, Stamen, Embossing Powder

    I love purple so this card is an instant favorite. The sentiment is wonderful, and all the components of the card work beautifully together.ReplyCancel

 

Well perhaps it is deja vu…I posted a card with the same materials yesterday.  As I sat down today at my craft table, I had my test stampings and leftover papers laying on top.  Normally I would throw the test stamped image away, but what a waste, right?  So I decided to make another card.

I’ll be back with a post tomorrow and next week I hope to throw in some simple cards.  Thanks for stopping by.

Supplies:
Stamps:  Wordsworth
Paper:  Bazzill, K & Co.
Inks:  SU Taken with Teal
Accessories:  Nestabilities, Big Eyelets, Prima Flowers, Brads
