Vellum butterfly and gold goodness

This was a Stamp Club card in April. We used an Aquapainter and Pacific Point ink to make spatters on the white layer, which was already embossed with the Spring Flowers embossing folder. That cute little gold shape behind the sentiment is from the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits set. The gold thread under the butterfly is from the Gold Baker's Twine. And of course, butterflies from Vellum Cardstock and my all-time-favorite DSP, Painted Blooms!

Happy Mother's Day

We made this card at April's Stamp Club meeting. Not everyone needs a Mother's Day card, so some used birthday greetings or other sentiments. However you do it, Painted Petals is a wonderful stamp set for making watercolor-style floral cards. The coordinating Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper is gorgeous--every page a work of art!

In this photo, it's hard to see the tiny pearls at the center of the stamped flowers, but they add a nice bit texture. We inked up the flowers in Blackberry Bliss, then "pounced" Rose Red marker on them to give a little color variation.

Painted Blooms and Painted Petals will be gone after June 2, so get yours ordered now!

Blackberry Spattered Butterflies

I posted this card on my Facebook page already but wanted to share it here, too. It's one of my favorites I've made with the Butterflies Thinlits!

Use an Aquapainter and ink to make these spatters the old-fashioned way. The main butterfly is cut from cardstock vellum, with the smaller layered butterfly cut from Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper (DSP).

The gold filament is from Gold Baker's Twine--just unravel what you need! The card needed one other gold accent, so I used the "torn washi tape" thinlit from the Mini Treat Bag set to make a gold foil background for the sentiment. Isn't that a cool shape? I'll be using it more in the future!
