The Best Is Yet To Come...Fluttering Butterfly

How beautiful is that butterfly!  I made the butterfly using the Butterflies Thinlit dies. 

The butterfly is scored in the middle and folded in half.  I put a small piece of Perfectly Artistic DSP paper from the Sale-A-Bration brochure behind the butterfly to give it color.  The natural waves of color in the DSP really pops on the black stencil butterfly.

Sale-A-Bration What I love... Love Them in Bright Colors

After making this card in the Bermuda Bay colors I couldn't resist making another one in Daffodil Delight and another one in Melon Mambo.  Love all these colors together.  Reminds me of summer colors.

I made the background by stamping the flower in Bermuda Bay, stamping off on scrap paper and then spritzing the stamp with water before stamping on the white card stock.  I did the same with all 3 colors. Gives the card a nice watercolor effect.  The splatter was done using the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set.

Striped DSP is from the Brights Designer Series Paper pack.

Birthday Bouquet DSP Cards

I'm loving this Birthday Bouquet DSP paper.  I loved these blue flowers so much that it inspired me to cue them out and use them on this card to frame the greeting.

On this card I used the Rose Garden Thinlit for the small flower and leaves.

Paint Chip Inspiration #29: Rose Garden Thinlit

How simple is this beautiful card.  A paint chip + the Rose Garden Thinlit = a beautiful card.  The best part is this card would look great with any color paint chip.  I love the way the rose pops on the color.

 

Simplicity with Rose Garden Thinlit

Simplicity is a great way to descibe this card...  simple leaves and simple color... but it equals a really pretty card.  I used The Rose Garden thinlit for the leaves and greeting and the paper is from the Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack in the Occasions Mini.
