Sweet Sugarplum Blossoms & Butterflies

Hello again! I was playing with one of my favourite stamp sets called {Grateful Bunch}. I created a couple of cards to share with you today. All my stamping was done with the same colour, Sweet Sugarplum. I used the largest flower and I stamped it directly onto the card stock layer, it's such a pretty and detailed image.

After all the flowers were stamped, I stamped some butterflies. I stamped again on some scrap paper and fussy cut them out and popped them up on dimensionals.

I added a bit more stamping and texture with {Timeless Texture} and a Thank You sentiment from {One Big Meaning}.

For my second card, my focus was on the butterfly image. I stamped a whole bunch of these beauties, 24 to be exact. I used the "Rock n' Roll" technique. It's super simple to do, just ink your image with a lighter colour and roll the edges of the stamp in a darker colour. I punched them out with a 1" Circle Punch.

I stuck with the same colour palette of Sweet Sugarplum and Whisper White with a bit of Rich Razzleberry for contrast.

I added a bit more texture by embossing the background with the {Fluttering Textured Impressions Embossing Folder}. You can never go wrong with an embossed background. I hope you like these cards, have a nice day!
