Perfect Pairings: Thank You Kindly

My favourite Sale-a-bration item for 2016 is {Perfect Pairings}. I know it's all sentiments, but I absolutely love the funky font and how you can add scripted with text. My {Stamp-a-ma-jig} was a must to get these lined up perfectly, since I ordered it in wood mount. 

I went with an angled layer again, I'm really stuck on this look! I added an angle cut piece to the top of my card, and added some {Water colour Paper} with some Watermelon Wonder Classic ink and an {Aqua painter}.  

A bit of colour to an otherwise simple black and white adds a nice punch to the card. I wanted to add one more thing, I looked at some of my favourite stamps and I haven't played with {Butterfly Basics} for a while so I decided to give it a spin. I only used the floral image, but it added a softer feel to the card. I hope you like it

Thanks for stopping by, happy stamping!

Butterfly Basics & Butterfly Thinlits: Fluttering Butterfly

I pulled out my Butterfly Basics stamp set a couple of weeks ago, when I had some time to "play". I wanted to make a pretty, fluttering butterfly with a bunch of layers and to try to use more of the stamps within the stamp set. Mission accomplished! 

I started with a base card of Coastal Cabana. I cut a Whisper White layer and began to stamp. I used Coastal Cabana, Tempting Turquoise and Daffodil Delight Classic Inks. I randomly stamped several of the images from the set to fill the entire layer piece. 

I then die cut a butterfly out of the center, the largest one. I only added adhesive to the center so the wings could flutter. I added a Daffodil Delight Butterfly die cut first - which I stamped with the hexagon background piece from the set. 

Then I added a Tempting Turquoise butterfly to the center. I added a third and the smallest butterfly in the collection of thinlits - but this one comes with a matching stamp... so I stamped, and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder - then sponged some Daffodil Delight and Tempting Turquoise ink over top. Since the butterfly is so LARGE, I opted for a smaller sentiment - I used the Petite Pairs stamps, "I'm here, for you". I sponged and matted them to the lower right-hand corner. 

I hope you like my card, and that you have a great day :)
