Kraftin' Kimmie Butterfly Dreams with Quick Creations

Hello everyone, I hope the holidays have treated you well :)  For me, it was the busiest holiday we've had in a while, what with a new extended family to visit. 

I have created a pretty purple and teal card for you today for Quick Creations, featuring Kraftin' Kimmie's "Butterfly Dreams" clear stamp set.

To create this card, I water colored the butterflies using some Tim Holtz Distress Markers and some Spectrum Aqua Markers in both a light and dark purple and teal.  I fussy cut them out and added Glossy Accents to their bodies.  I die cut some butterflies out of the white card stock using the Lawn Fawn "Flutterby" die set.  The paper is "Fairy Dust" from Kaisercraft, the sentiment is from KK's "Butterfly Dreams" and I also finished it off with some Nuvo Crystal Drops in "Violet Galaxy".  The white card stock is backed with dimensional adhesive to give it some lift from the patterned paper.

Sadley, Noelle has decided to close her shop for the time being so she can focus on her health, so right now she is having a shop-wide sale, see the details below:

Flutterby Birthday Card with Sweet Stamps

Hello everyone, I have a fun new card design for you today for Sweet Stamps :) AAAnnnnnnddd I am totally in love with it lol.

I had a lot of fun creating this card, and the most fun thing about it?  Starting out with one idea, and then having it morph into something totally different and unexpected!  I love how creativity works sometimes ;)

I stamped the Daisy Side rubber stamp on hot press watercolor paper in a light colored dye ink and then heat set it with my heat tool.  Then I water colored the flower with my watercolor pencils and water (duh, of course!).  Then I decided to try something new.  I die cut the flower with the Flutterby #2 die set (the solid one).  Then I die cut the layer of the die with patterned paper and glued them under the solid butterflies.  I also used a sentiment from the Kitty Sweets clear stamp set and then added some Glastique for dew drops!

I love how this card turned out!  I will definitely be trying this technique out again soon.

You can find all the products I mentioned in the Sweet Stamps online store :)  (As well as many, many more;))  And don't forget to come and join us for two monthly challenges!  The Anything Goes challenge begins on the first Sunday of every month, and the Anything But a Card challenge begins on the third Sunday of every month!  See you there!
