Vivid Butterfly

 Hello All,

I am writing to you from my phone. Our computer decided not to turn on. Fantastic... So, please bear with me. Today I will be playing along with The Card Concept and The Day of the Month card challenges. Here is my card for today, enjoy!

Brilliant butterfly takes center stage. It is, once again, a StampPeddler background stamp. I love this image and is one of the many stamps I own that has been used multiple times.

Stamped the image twice, one for the background and the other for the butterfly. I colored them both using alcohol markers. I cut out the butterfly and laid it on the background layer. I only added the body of the butterfly so that wings are free. 

This shot emphasizes the vivid color of the butterfly. The wings looks so good spread out from the card. I also like the color of the black sentiment as it seems to bring out the butterfly.

 Hello All,

For today I will be playing along with Sunday Stamps and Day of the Month Club Challenges. Here is my card for today, enjoy!

I wanted this card to be magical. In that, I mean colors you usually don't see in nature. Well, I kind of did it and I still like it, but maybe I should have more obscure colors. I do however love the sentiment.

I love this larger-than-life image from StampPeddler. So pretty and realistic artwork is what draws me to their stamps. 

The raised panels are spotlighted by the kraft cardstock below. It is hard to tell at least for my husband, but I will promise you it is there.

Celebrate Ice Cream

Hello All,

For today I am playing along with Sunday Stamps and Day of the Month Card Club. I just NEED an ice cream right now after finishing this card. So, here is my card for today, enjoy!

 This card was created by using the masking technique and then stamping the background with the Concord & 9th Sunshine Turnabout stamp. The dots were also stamped using the same set.

The dark brown and light brown background papers are to mimic the chocolate coating on the cone melting on the actual ice cream cone. The sentiment shares the same colors as the background papers.

Oh, those sprinkles! The ice cream was stamped in brown and then colored using Copic markers. Coloring all the sprinkles was so much fun! However, after all the coloring I really wanted to indulge in a nice soft-serve cone with sprinkles!
