A fluttery birthday card, with a matching envelope

It has been a while since I made cards with butterflies, and I'm not sure  why....

I used MFT 'More Brilliant Butterflies' stamps, with pale blue and dark blue inks. I added an oragne glitter enmal dot in the middle of the butterfly.

For the background I die cut a stitched square and inked an embossing folder with orange ink, and embossed the square, and matted it with another stitched sqaure, using dark blue cs.

The butterfly was adhered using foam tape, and so was the blue square.

A sentiment stamped in dark blue ink on the kraft background.

I also made a matching envelope. On the front I stamped the sketched butterfly in dark blue, and the back was embossed with the same embossing folder I used for the orange background.

Thanks - a recipe for neutrals

One of the FAV 

at Tuesday Morning Sketches

On one hand, making cards in neutrals colors can be very challenging. On the other hand, these colors make a very elegant combination. And who doesn't love a card in neutrals colors?!

So I took inspiration from the challenge at As You See It challenge blog, whith a recipe for a neutrals card: to use an embossing folder, a ribbon or a twine, a die or a punch, one sentiment - and all that with neutrals:

I chose to work with the neutrals colors white, vanilla and kraft - for my cs, and brown ink for the sentiment.

I followed the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches #631:

The banners, the feathers and the tag - where cut with dies. The white stitched banner was embossed using dots embossing folder. 

I tied a bow around all the feathers with a jute twine, which also was used to tie a knot on the tag.

A one sentiment 'thanks' was stamped on the tag, and I adhered it beneath the feathers.

It goes also for the 'thanks' challenges at SimonSays Monday challenge, and SimonSays Wednesday challenge.

Happy Day card - Just Us Girls + Altenew

 

A cas 'Happy Day' card I made for two challenges:

Just Us Girls #603 - with this photo inspiraion:

I really love the combination of purple hues and green. Somehow this color combination makes me happy :).

And this is exactly what my eyes were drawn to in the photo inspiration by Altenew:

Again, the flowers in purple/pink hues and the green colors of the leaves and the grass.

To make this card I used two different build-up Altnew stamps - one for the flower and on for the leaves.

I scored some lines in "L" shape, added a sticker sentiment, and some translucent purple dew drops. And my card is done!
