Freshly Made Christmas

Helllooooo!

How are you all? I have a pretty Christmas card for you today. Pretty, but very quick and easy...

I cut a circle and then embossed the Whisper White card base with Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder from the Seasonal Catalogue. 

I backed the inside of the card with Season Of Style DSP. The sentiment is from More Merry Messages, embossed in Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Emboss powder. I paper piece the sentiment panel before layering onto Crumb Cake and positioning across the

Birthday Butterfly

Good morning! Yay it's Friday! 

I have the pleasure of my little man's company this weekend, and I can't wait! :)

I have a card for you today, using an stamp I haven't used for a while...

Here is the beautiful Swallowtail stamp and I have coloured it with Island Indigo ink; pen and inkpad with blender pen. 

I used the fab new Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder to give the illusion of flight and movement, enhanced by the butterfly not being flush on the card.

I will be honest, I'm not overly thrilled with this card...I think the butterfly could have done with more colour...what do you think?
