Butterfly Bits 2

I just love this card. It was made with the stamp set "Butterfly Bits" on page 59 of the current catty.

I stamped the butterfly with the rock and roll technique, and then I masked it in order to put the "swirls" behind it. A touch a stickles down the center give it a sparkle.

The little bit of brown up the side was put through a crimper, and gives the card just a bit of depth.

The scallop was done with our cloud scissors and a paper piercer.

The other stamp used is called "Running Stitches," and it is that I used, and not a sewing machine, for the stitching.

Christmas Angel

I decided to play with Heather's sketch this week, and I am just squeezing in under the wire before the next one comes out. This is not one of my favorite sets, I received it for free, but this is very close to what popped into my mind when I saw this week's sketch, so I went with it. What do you think?

Supplies:

Stamp-"Just Dream:"

Ink and paper: Noir Palette, Bazzill greens and DCWV red

Accessories: Crystal stickles, Watercolor pencils and blender pen, Crimper, Brads, Cuttlebug embossing folder, Grey tombow marker,Paper piercer and plastic canvas, and Skin tone pencils

Masculine Cars Card

I need as masculine card to send out this week, and here is what I came up with

The stamp set I used is called, believe it or not, "Cars." For the embossed paper I ran it through my Big Shot with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. The main image was embossed and then colored with watercolors, and the last touch was using the snaps that look like screw. I think it came pretty guy-ish, something I have a hard time doing.

I want to thank Risa for inspiration on this card. You can see a card she did with this set HERE. Her card just blows mine away, in fact, her whole blog is worth looking through, she has amazing work.

Neglected Stamps

I was stamping with Melora on Saturday, so I decided to pull out some of my non-TAC stamps that have been feeling neglected. All of these stamps are from "High Hopes" a wonderful company out of Canada. The papers are from TAC. Neither of these cards scanned well and I like them soooo much more IRL (in real life). I was a little stickle happy, so there are stickles on the cross card and the dragon card.
I am going to add a sentiment to the dragon card once I figure out for what occassion (and person) I will be sending it

Horse Birthday

I saw a cute card on SCS and decided to make one myself. The directions are found HERE.

I think this would make a cute way to send a Christmas card with a picture to display...what do you think?

I used TACs "Happy Trails" stamp set. The sentiment is from "Great Greetings" the inside of the card says...the more you have the longer you live.

Some Bunny

I made this card for a very special person, but I am not going to say yet, because she may be reading this. I love how it came out.

Supplies:

Stamps: Some Bunny and Ordinary Greetings

Paper: TAC Brown, Mimi, and Mimi matching cardstock

Accessories: Circle and scalloped punches, tombow white gel pen, Mimi ribbon, water color pencils and blender pen, burnt umber and noir palette ink, and colored pencils
