Butterfly Prints

I have done so well resisting the urge to buy the Flight of the Butterfly stamp set from our main catalogue, but when I saw the gorgeous creations everyone was making with the new Butterfly Prints stamp set in the Summer Mini catalogue, all restraint went out the window!  Butterfly Prints arrived a little over a week ago, and I finally had some time to play with it yesterday while Dylan was out with Yooralla.  

It's a very "girly girl" card, but I am happy with how it came out.  I used Versamark and Stampin' Pastels to colour the butterflies, and punched them out with our Butterfly punch!  So quick and easy!  I have so many creations bookmarked to case with this stamp set, and am hoping to sit down tonight once we have packed Dylan off to Very Special Kids (for TWO WHOLE NIGHTS of bliss!!!!!) and have more of a play.  I'm not picking Dylan up until Tuesday morning, so I will certainly be making the most of this time!

Thanks for looking,

Just a quick post to share with you one of the cards that the ladies made at our workshop last night.  My card was inspired by this card, which is just gorgeous!  Unfortunately we don't have the same gorgeous paper that they have in the US, but our Designer Papers look just as good!

I love cards that are quick and easy to make, but still have the WOW factor!  I loved this cards so much, that I made it again using Taken With Teal and the Forever Flower's wheel.

I love both of these cards, but I think I like the second one better!  I think the white craft ink on the Taken With Teal paper just pops...like Karen's card over on Splitcoast Stampers.  I'm sure this would look fantastic using Elegant Eggplant as well...might have to try that one!

Thanks for looking!

Here's another card I made while I was away...yes...with no ribbon!!  I have used the Forever Flowers wheel on the teal squares, and popped 2 vellum butterflies on each square.  The butterflies have been finished off with a half pearl from the Pretties Kit, and look divine!  For such a quick card, I think it looks really effective.
