BSS MONDAY IDEA - Butterflies and Flowers

Welcome to the Buffalo Stamps and Stuff Monday Idea.

Spring seems to be having a hard time getting started, but we did cut

the grass for the first time over the weekend.  Looking forward to getting

out into the yard and starting the cleanup, uncovering the patio furniture,

and grilling some hot dogs!

On that same theme, this week's card features a butterfly and

some beautiful flowers, a sure sign of Spring!

Inside

Base Card is 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 white card stock

Background die is dark green card stock cut

with the Spellbinder's die Tranquil Moments (S5216)

Butterfly is bright yellow cardstock cut with a

Memory Box die Lunette Butterfly (98745)

Leaves on the flowers are cut with a die from

Spellbinders Romantic Vines (S4531)

The beautiful lace flowers were bought at BSS.

They are attached and can be used as a border,

or cut apart. I placed a circle of Yellow cardstock

behind them and popped one up over the other.

A Yellow seam binder bow finished off the card.

The inside sentiment is from Just For Fun.

BSS MONDAY IDEA - DIES AND STENCILS

Welcome to the Buffalo Stamps and Stuff Monday Idea.

Today's card is made using a Stencil and some dies.

 Card base is 41/4 x 5 1/2 inches white card stock

Medium Green card stock insert is same measurement.

Stencil Used - Memory Box Texture Diamond (88522)

Dies - both Sizzix  Tim Holtz 

Hearts - Scribbles & Splat (660222)

Mixed Media - (660220)

The Miixed Media die  uses the blank space the die, and not a die cut

Inside sentiment - Impression Obsession (E9889)

I used a finger sponge to sponge  Versamark onto the stencil

in the area of the card I wanted the design on.

I then sponged dye ink over the Versamark in a medium green

removed the stencil, covered with clear embossing powder and

heat embossed.

The panel of green behind the lower image was cut the same size as

the card and adhered to the inside of the front of the card.

a 1/4 inch piece of the green card stock was adhered to the right edge

of the front of the card.

Love the mixed media dies and can't wait to play some more with

them.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day. Until later...........

The Butterfly

Hi friends, nice warm weekend, so nice to see and feel the sun!

I made this card a few days ago and never got to post it. So here we go.

A pretty simple card.  The butterfly is a Spellbinder's Grand die.

The pink panel was cut with a Spellbinder's border die and I pierced

the edge.  I also pierced the card to show the flight of the butterfly.

The sentiment stamp was stamped and embossed with silver embossing powder.

The sentiment is by Just for fun.

Pink satin ribbon across the pink panel. 

Thanks for taking a peek.  Have a great day.  Until later.....
