Butterfly Harmony

I've really been enjoying being a part of Danni's Flutter By team and coming up with new butterflies to use on a card. I've had these bling butterflies since last spring I think and found them in a drawer. Danni wanted us to use butterflies, buttons AND bling this week in our Flutter By card. Perfect, huh?

If you've been reading my blog for long, you know that I am not a scrap saver. And if you're a new reader, just breathe! *grin* I do have little scraps that will hang out on my desk for awhile and if I don't use them after a week or so, then away they go! This little card was such a piece and I decided to use it. I'm not sure if it's the exact dimensions of a scrapling but it's close; it measures 1 7/8 x 4 3/4. I inked up my stamp (Happy Harmony set) using my Old Olive and Rose Red markers and double stamping in between inkings to get the faded images. The sheer organza ribbon was perfect as it adds a little touch but allows the image to show through as well. Some stacked buttons finish it off. I didn't add a sentiment yet as I'm not sure who will receive this card. But I could easily add one to the front of the inside.

Be sure to visit the rest of the Flutter By girls. Danni is featuring the first Guest Flutter By so be sure to stop by there and leave her some love!! ETA: SQUEAL!!! It's Jessica, the sweet gal over at The Whimsical Butterfly!!!

Scraplings

Have you heard about scraplings? I saw them many weeks ago over on the Hero Arts blog and then they were one of the Holiday Challenges on SCS - one of the few that I got done. I actually created this just before Christmas at my MIL's house (isn't her tablescape nice?) The stamps are from a free set I got for subscribing to Country Living. I really like this little medallion and think it's great on it's own or perfect for collage. The sentiement is from one of my Pink Papery Studios sets that I took with me.


I also rephotographed my criss-cross card originally posted HERE. I think you can see it so much better now and I really love the subtle text in the background and the heart. The coloring on it turned out so cool I wanted you to *really* see it.
