Happy Hellos

I just got my Stampin' Up! Butterfly Thinlits.  They were on back order, so they didn't come in with the rest of the order.  I love the intricate butterflies!  I made a couple of cards- and didn't even CASE anybody!

I wish I could do better photos.  One of these days, I'll put a little thought into a DIY lightbox.  That way you could see the variations in color on my butterfly.  I inked white cardstock , cut out the butterfly, and laid that on top of an embossed piece.  I popped the sentiment up since the rest of the card is flat.

Supplies used:

Distress inks:  Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry, and Dusty Concord.
Memento ink: Grape Jelly
Stampin' Up stuff:  Swiss dots EF, Butterfly Thinlit
Stampers Anonymous sentiment and frame (Simple Sayings)
I don't know who made the pink and purple cardstocks.
Bazill Marshmallow cardstock.


The next card is a similar design, taken up maybe half a notch:

This time, I die cut a sentiment along with the butterfly from white cardstock I had inked up with distress inks.  I also rounded opposite corners on my layers, and added a little matching bling.  There are two layers of the butterfly there, each curled to create a little dimension.

Supplies used:

Distress inks:  Mustard Seed, Crushed Olive, and Pine Needles.
