are the main design for this card:
The stamps are from Hero Arts. The butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch. The dies are Spellbinders Nestabilities. Since I am always short of time to actually sit down and create several cards at a time, I am just going to enter this card into a few challenges, listed below:
Word Art Wednesday
Flutter by Wednesday
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge
I hope your weekend is a great one - I can't believe it is going to be September on Sunday!!!
is the challenge at Casology this week:
I don't know how to make many things using origami folds, but I love this kimono and have used it a lot over the years:
The rubber stamp in the corner is from Red Pearl and was stamped with Delicata gold ink. The meaning of it is written on the side of the wood mount: "I know too much to be sure of anything". I added a gold border with a Pilot gold metallic pen and layered the panel to a green card base.
Happy Sunday!
for Magenta's August challenge:
All of the stamps I used on this card are from Magenta:
I added some light sponging for the background and the border was drawn by hand with a Pitt pen. The flowers were colored with Prismacolor pencils. There are touches of glitter on the flowers and wings of the dragonflies, but this doesn't show up in this poorly taken photo! :)
Hope your weekend is a good one!
for Sweet Sunday Sketch challenge #191:
Here is my card:
Basic Gray patterned papers, Nestabilities, a sweet stamp from Hero Arts and some enamel dots with a touch of bling, too. Pretty much a literal take on the sketch.
I will also enter this in the Word Art Wednesday challenge.
Have a great day!
with a butterfly:
I used my new Hero Arts butterfly die for this version of the Flutterby Wednesday sketch challenge. Definitely can't miss seeing this big beauty!
Here is a close-up of the butterfly to show that I sprayed Heirloom Gold over it to add a bit of pizzazz to the otherwise plain paper. The papers are from the Basic Gray True Love 6 x 6 paper pad.
Whew! I am just getting this in before the deadline at Flutterby Butterfly.
Thanks for visiting - I love reading your comments!
can be very pretty if there is enough contrast and texture. Not sure if I achieved this, but here is my card for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. I am also submitting this card to two other challenges linked at the end of this post.
Papers are from a couple of different paper pads. The sentiment is from Hero Arts, as are the pretty gems. I used a Fiskars border punch to add a bit of interest to the center piece.
Here is the sketch I used from the Flutterby Wednesday weekly challenge:
EDIT: Alas, I didn't even use a BUTTERFLY for this card, which is always a must have for these challenges. So, I won't be submitting this card there!!! (boohoo) But. . .
I will send this over to the Word Art Wednesday challenge, where the theme is always anything goes as long as you use some encouraging words on your card.
Thanks for stopping by!
