Hello and good morning! I was just looking at the calendar and can’t believe how close Easter is. I haven’t even posted any Easter cards yet. Eek! I have colored several images for Easter but just haven’t had the time to create the cards for them. This “remodel/fix up” for the refinancing has taken more time than I’d like. It’s so going to be worth it in the end though. It better be! LOL While this card is not specifically for Easter it could be used as such.

Papers- were free from a magazine out of the UK
green card stock cut with an EK success punch- I inked one with shabby shutters and one with peeled paint. I cut them both from the same size paper and then reduced the bottom (uncut side) to make it shorter.
butterflies were punched out of scrap paper with fiskars punch
image is from Sliekje digi stamps– she does such cute work and all of her digital stamps are free. Check her out at the link above. I colored her with copics.
Nestabilities scalloped circle die for the cloud sentiment
sentiment is from Amy R Be Happy sentiments and stamped with Memento Pear Tart.

Inside is a larger scalloped circle that I inked with Tumbled Glass and left blank for the sentiment.

Thank you for visiting! Wishing you a lovely day!

Good Morning! Thought I would post a cutie from Prairie Fairy Designs. I love these digital images! I own quite a few, so you’ll be seeing a few more post using these images in the future. This one could be used for just about any reason and I left the inside blank.

Hi Guys, Me again. Today’s card is a general best wishes card. I wanted to play with my distressed inks and thought these beautiful stamps from Fiskars called For the Birds would be the perfect stamps to employ an emboss resist technique. I have had these stamps for awhile now and just haven’t pulled them out.

I started out by embossing the stamp using Ranger super fine clear embossing powder on white card stock. I then cut out the image with a circle nestability die. I then sponged the circle using Tumbled Glass and Broken China. I put just a hint of Faded Jeans on the edge. The frame was two scalloped oval nestability dies first dry embossed and then cut. I put both on the cuttlebug at the same time. I then inked the brown card stock, the patterned paper and the frame with Walnut stain Distress ink. (sorry I don’t know the brand of paper) I used a woodgrain stamp from Stampabilities inked with Frayed Burlap to create the background of the oval. The pearls and white ribbon are both from Michaels. I used the smallest scalloped Petite oval nestability for the sentiment. The sentiment itself was from Stampin’ Up short and sweet.

I love how it turned out. This could be for a man or woman. Love that!!

Thanks for looking.
