Timelessly Elegant Butterfly

Good afternoon all!

I hope you are well? Isn't it nice to finally have summertime here in the UK? Ok, so the weather is still not quite there yet, but it's so nice to have the lighter evenings isn't it?!

Anyway, I came into my craft room this morning to make a card for my niece's 2nd birthday tomorrow, and came up with this...

Ok...it's a birthday card but not quite right for a 2yr old right? Hmmm....back to the drawing board then! 

Anyway, how did this card come about? Well as it's Saturday I thought I'd pop and see what the challenge at Less Is More is, and it's White Space, but not the colour white, so that inspired a coloured card base and the challenge at Freshly Made Sketches gave me my layout....

Then I thought I'd use some DSP and Timeless Elegance was at the top of the box, then I just fancied a pop of colour, hence the Blackberry Bliss butterfly from Watercolour Wings. 

I'm hoping you can see above the subtle sparkle from my Wink Of Stella pen...I used the clear one to give some shimmer to my butterfly.

And above you can see the Gold embossed sentiment from Teeny Tiny Sentiments...perfectly tiny enough to give a message without taking anything away from the main panel.

And thank you if you do! :)

I am really happy with this card! Now I better go get my niece's card made!

Have a lovely Saturday!

Blushing Bride Birthday

Good morning and happy Monday!

I feel a bit lost for things to do today....Keiran is with his Dad for the next 2 weeks and I'm only working on 3 days....lots of time and not really sure what to do with it! I guess I will catch up in the garden, go to the gym lots and maybe even craft a little!

I'll start by sharing this card I started on Saturday and finished this morning...

I have again used Timeless Elegance DSP...it seems that once I got it out I couldn't stop using it! This time I have gently inked the rose with Blushing Bride ink to make it stand out. I embossed the bottom of the Very Vanilla panel with an old favourite embossing folder...one I'm not sure I will ever part with!

The sentiment is from Remembering Your Birthday but only uses the bottom part of the stamp...I inked it with a Stampin' Write Marker so that I didn't ink the part I didn't want. Again, this is punched with an old favourite! I gave my card a little sparkle with some Blushing Bride Sequin Trim and popped the who lot onto a Blushing Bride card blank using Dimensionals.

I love the soft pink with the black and Very Vanilla, don't you?

I'm adding my card to the massive celebration they have going on over at Freshly Made Sketches this week...it's their 200th challenge can you believe?!

I hope you have a great day today...the sun is shining here so I hope your day is just as sunny! :)

Happy!

Hello and happy Sunday!

I'm here today with a card that was somewhat inspired by the card I made yesterday...

I have used the stunning Timeless Elegance DSP again...I love using it with a splash of colour as I think it works so well, don't you?? In this case it's Rich Razzleberry and the swirly stamp is from Everything Eleanor.

I die cut 'happy' from the Hello You Thinlits and used our brand new super fine tipped glue, which will be available very soon....watch this space!! I finished with 'birthday' from Endless Birthday Wishes and some Rich Razzleberry Candy Dots. 

Endless Wishes is one of our fab Photopolymer sentiment sets and one thing I love about them is that you can see through them so you can position your sentiment perfectly! You can order this, or any of our other products, including this yummy DSP, by clicking on my shop link just over on the right >>>>>>>>

I am entering my card into this week's challenge at CAS(E) This Sketch...

So...two cards in two days...I'm on a roll! ;)

Timeless Elegance...

Good morning LIMettes! It's been a long while since I have been up and raring to craft at this time on a Saturday, but here I am!

This week's challenge at Less Is More is a sketch...

So here I how I used it...

I used the gorgeous Timeless Elegance DSP for the top half of my card and teamed it with the beautiful and elegant Mint Macaron Dotted Lace Trim...isn't it lovely?? I finished with a Designer Vintage Faceted Button and some Silver Baker's Twine. The sentiment is from Remembering Your Birthday.

I'm off to my parents' today...hope you have a lovely weekend planned!
