Vintage Butterflies ~ #TGIFC312 Technique Challenge

Happy Friday stampin' friends!  We're going Very Vintage over at TGIF Challenges !  

I'll admit...vintage is not usually my style, but thanks to this weeks Technique Challenge, I'm loving it!  

I started out by embossing a piece of Very Vanilla card stock with the Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder, then sponged a bit of black around the edges and added a few splatters with my Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker.

I stamped a couple of Forever Ferns leaves on another layer of Very Vanilla, sponging a little more Tuxedo Black around the edges.  After stamping a page of the Butterfly Brilliance butterflies, I die cut them and added a couple to each card.

A vintage card can always use some lace ribbon, right?!?!  The Very Vanilla Lace Ribbon was perfect for this cute little tag from the Wrapped Bouquet Bundle.

I kept this one a little more simple by just adding a beautiful sentiment.

I love how elegant these look...and they were created with such ease!  I really need to play around with the Vintage technique more...it's so beautiful!

Now I get to go spend the weekend with two of my favorite stampin' friends, Wendy and Cheryl, who came in to town so we can watch the virtual OnTour session together.  We are going to have so much fun!!

Happy Stamping!

 

Butterflies On My Mind

I'm dreaming of butterflies and warm spring days...as I watch the snow get deeper and deeper by the hour!

Happy Friday friends!  Snow has finally arrived...just a little late this year.  I'm usually not a big fan of the snow, but I am enjoying it at the moment.  I'll get back to you in a few days and let you know if I'm still enjoying it!  What I am enjoying even more is a little extra time in my craft room today, especially since my Butterfly Bouquet preorder arrived this week!  This gorgeous bundle will be available to customers March 2 - May 3 2021.

Inspired by all of the amazing Artisan Design Team projects created with this bundle and this weeks Freshly Made Sketches sketch challenge.

I inked up half of the Butterfly Brilliance stamp in Calypso Coral and stamped it on a piece of the Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper.  The beautiful butterflies were also die cut from the Butterfly Bijou.  You can cut out 6 butterflies all at one time from a sheet of DSP...it is AMAZING!!!

I cut a few little strips of other patterns of DSP, added a simple sentiment from Simply Succulents and a sweet little Linen Thread bow.  And of course I finished it off with bit of Artistry Blooms sequins!

I can't wait to share this beautiful bundle with my class next month.  They are all going to LOVE it!

I hope you all have a fantastic Friday!

Happy Stamping!
