Beautiful Butterflies

My sweet friend Eva invited me to participate in big blog hop focusing on a little miracle – the butterfly, so here I am on a beautiful Sunday morning, showing you a simple and easy card that I made while chit-chatting with a friend. I think it’s absolutely perfect and would be oh-so-easy to reproduce.

All supplies are from a•muse|studio – did you know that you can cut washi tape with dies? I don’t know why it was such a surprise to me, duh! 🙂 The green butterfly and stripe behind the sentiment are both washi tape – love how easy it is to add a quick pop of color with that stuff!

For more inspiration, visit Eva’s blog here for the ever-growing list of participants (and perhaps a sweet prize!).

How about them apples?

Again with the cyberstamping this evening . . . Beate’s quite the taskmaster!  She had a sketch in mind and I really did want to try it (*cough*not really*cough*) and as much as it broke my heart, I just couldn’t make the image work with the sketch and ended up just doing my own thing. I stamped the apples on a rectangle, then stamped again. I colored the image with Copics (click for colors used) and then took forever to trim the image with manicure scissors I keep for little bitty detailed things. And ended up with a bit of a hand cramp. But I think it was worth it. I love this card!

Stamps are from Flourishes, “Apple of My Eye”

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Copic markers

Paper: X-Press It Blending Card, solids from my stash, dots from Jillybean Soup, stripes from American Crafts

Accessories: Making Memories ribbon, pretty filigree lasercut from who knows where . . . I hoard it like crazy.
