butterflies

Today's card features my Leafy Vines stamp from Hero Arts, embossed with detail white EP on black card, and layered onto an orange card base. I have also stamped onto a snippet of orange, 2 butterflies from Kaisercraft, and added Wink of Stella to their wings. I used flower stamens for the feelers, and coloured them with copics to match.

Je t'aime

I totally cased the example from the back of the stamp package for this card, but reversing the card colour, and the first layer. The stamp is by Penny Black and I coloured it with my copics. The red layer is a new (to me) embossing folder that I thought went with the French theme.
I used up a few snippets from my large boxful for the stamped image and the white layers.

Elfie!

I made three of these elf pocket cards for my grandsons Christmas money to hang on their tree.
The 'collar' lifts up to see where the money is hiding. I used snippets from my scrap box for the belt, check trim, and the collar.

It's not Christmas

I had a few bits and pieces lying on my desk, so used them up with this card. The green stripe is a piece of bazil card, pink spot is a dp, small butterflies are from a Kaiser pad, and the bottom piece of green is punched.
I cut the butterfly in 2 layers, the top one is a scrap of velum, and ran them both through my cuttlebug with the swiss dots folder. I sponged most of the edges in green and added a bakers string tie, and wee diamantes to the butterfly.

nbus!

Today's card uses a piece from my blue masterboard. I have trimmed it to fit a white card, just leaving a litle margin. Istamped the 2 IndigoBlu images with Brilliance graphite black and embossed with clear EP. I stamped the butterfly again on a scrap of acetate and layered it over the original. The white accents are from my Sharpie pen.

Masterboard #2

This piece is actually darker IRL but doesn't show in the scan, I think because it is a shiny surface. I started with 2 colours of Brusho's, and after spraying,then pressed onto it with cling film. After it was dry I stamped the circles(CTMH) text (Stampers Anonymous) leaves (Dylusions) I also used a white Sharpie to accentuate some of the circles.
This is my second attempt after being inspired by all the examples on the Paper Artsy blog.
