It may seem like I have been on a bit of an anti stamping binge lately, but the truth is that I have been outside enjoying summer and when I did come in to stamp, I wanted to complete my projects quickly. I am playing catch up with you all here, so that you can see what I was creating over the summer months. Not much time to blog when the kiddos (and I) wanted to go to the beach. I did still teach classes over the summer and most of the cards you will see in the next few blog posts will be about those cards.
It is a rainy fall day here and my hubby took the kids to go ice skating, for real!! It was a quick transition to winter sports for my family. LOL Our youngest is starting to play hockey in a month or so and we want to make sure his skating skills are on point. We have a terrific wellness centre in this area and we take full advantage of it .
On to my Hello You thinlit card. Isn’t it cute? The Hello You thinlits are a set of three words; hello, thanks and you, that you use with your Big Shot. They also coordinate with the Crazy About You stamp set – also available in wood mount and photopolymer. I chose to use the Papillion Potpourri stamp set and stamp a butterfly repeated on on the background paper in Basic Black ink. I am using some Irresistibly Yours paper that is retired, but you can get the same effect with the Colour Me Irresistible Designer Series Paper.
I then sponged Pink Pirouette ink all over the background paper to soften the black butterflies and to colour the paper, as it was originally white.
I added a strip of White Satin Ribbon, punched out a Bitty Butterfly and an Elegant Butterfly and layered them together, with Pearls as an embellishment on the body of the butterfly.
Cardstocks used are: Pink Pirouette, Basic Black and you can substitute the Colour Me Irresistible as your background paper.
