Big Baja Breeze Butterfly

Say that 3 times fast!......I'm really loving this big butterfly die! It's just lovely. For this card, I stamped the script stamp from the French Foliage set a few times on the butterfly using Early Espresso ink. Then I stamped the Bella Toile stamp using Versa Mark, and clear embossed it. Some pearls finished it off nicely.



I'm looking forward to making many more of these cards using different colours! They are so simple and easy to make, but the effect of the embossing on the butterfly is stunning IRL.

Supplies Used:
Stamp Sets: Bella Toile, French Foliage, Just Believe
Card/Paper: Baja Breeze, Crumb Cake
Ink: Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Versa Mark
Accessories: Beautiful Butterflies die, Early Espresso 1/8" taffetta ribbon, clear embossing powder

Simple Just Believe

Hello there, how are you? I hope you're all enjoying your week. We just got back from a lovely wee holiday in the Coromandel. It was chilly, but wonderful. Since we got back, I've had some time in my craft room....

I sat down and created these very simple cards using the SU! In- colours. They would be a lovely gift, in a matching box or wallet, or great to have on hand when you're short of time.

Each colour is paired with Old Olive:

Poppy Parade

Concord Crush

Blushing Bride

Peach Parfait

Which one is your favourite? I still haven't decided mine.....
