Butterfly notecards

Hi
I needed a couple of note cards to give a friend as a small gift.  The top two are very soft mauve and the bottom one is quite a vibrant pink.  The butterflies are 3D peel offs except for the purple one; that is cut from an svg file I have and lots of stickles applied after running it through the Cuttlebug
folder.  The pink card had a white butterfly but I wanted it a little softer so I used some Perfect Pearls to color it.

A little clearer pic of the butterfly

Hi

Shaz, I took three photos outside today so you could see the butterfly better (the rain quit for awhile and the sun poked out for a couple of minutes).  The top and bottom photo is the true color of the foil card.  The middle photo is the true color of the butterfly. 

Thanks so much for the comments.

Have a Blessed day.

Bronze foil and butterfly

Hi
My blogging friend Gail showed a lovely card on her blog here http://scrappintimes-gail.blogspot.ca/ and of course I had to copy her style !!  So off to Michaels I went with my little coupon.  Couldn't find the Metalics that she used so I bought a 6" x 6" pad of Foil Cardstock.
The vellum butterfly I have used before but this one was destined to become vellum flowers.  It looked so good on the foil so I fussy cut it and popped it up with brown fun foam that I ran through the Xyron.
This is a photo taken in the (homemade) light box and it does show the true color of the foil.  It also shows that the butterfly is popped up  and some shadowing. :)  The folder is a 5" x 6.5" Cuttlebug and that made the card 5.5" x 7".
Since the foil pad has a little hole for hanging and the folder was so big I had to emboss another piece of the foil and fussy cut a flower to cover it.  lol
Ok, for those of you who want to see where, you will have to click on the pic and it is on the left side.  lol
Have a Blessed day.

Baby dress card

Hi
Here is a quick cute little card.  I found a great site for shaped svg cards at PaperScrapz in the  templates library. 
The inside has the same holes for ribbon.  I used a Cuttlebug folder and pearls from the Dollar Store.  Perhaps blue wasn't the best choice of color but it was handy. 
Have a Blessed day.

Simple little card with vellum flower

Hi
When I get  new folders I like to try them out.  This is from a Marianne folder that has been just waiting for a chance to become a card.  I used Perfect Pearls to color the vellum flower which was an experimental cut of vellum on the Cricut.
Have a Blessed day.

Another rose on vellum

Hi
Another rose on vellum paper.  This one has paper roses I made and matted onto different paper. 
Sometimes I end up with several copies because I am experimenting and can't bear to throw them away so they become cards. :)
Have a Blessed day.

Shaped card with flowers and butterflies

Hi

As most of you know I love shaped cards.  This one is so cute and so easy and fun to do.  Pardon the fingers on the backside of the card but it was the only way I could get it to photograph.  I am playing with a light box I made.  Today is so dark and gloomy and I think the light box worked pretty good.

 

Have a Blessed day.

Rose and poem on vellum

Hi
Well my photographic skills are none existent it seems.  No matter where I put this card I couldn't get the poem to show, so you will just have to click on the pic to read it.  Sorry.
It was printed on SU vellum and affixed over a black embossed strip.  I should have left the strip off.  However, maybe someone will like it, and I do post my booboos as well as the rest.
 The corners are Cuttlebug dies.
Have a Blessed day.

Trellis and vellum flowers

Hi
I love trellis work, whether in the yard or on a card.
This beautiful trellis is an svg from Bird's Cards.  For those of you who follow me, you know I use a lot of her svgs.
The flourish is from Cheery Lynn.
The flowers are pink vellum I made  from the McGill punch and the butterfly is an svg in my files and glammed up with glitter.
Have a Blessed day.

Gateway to a garden bridge

Hi
The gateway cut is from Monica's Creative Room
The vine is from Cheery Lynn Designs called Fanciful Flourish.
 The vellum flowers were punched with a McGill punch called Petit flowers.
The key is part of the lock on the gate and it fell off before I photographed it.  The pic was hard to get so I didn't want to go back and keep redoing it.  There is a piece of tape holding the gate shut for photographing.  I will remove it before sending.  lol
Have a Blessed day.

White birch trees in fall

Hi
This scene was from a magazine.
 The frame is Cuttlebug Lace Door.
I just kept matting and playing until it met with my approval.  The final card didn't have as much punch as I wanted and then I spied the gold braid.  Voila`.
Have a Blessed day.

Mother's Day card to my daughter

Hi
As Mother's Day approaches I start to think of the many blessings of being a mother.  As many of you know my daughter is adopted.  She was the biggest blessing of my life.  Every Mother's Day I send her a card telling her how grateful I am to have had the privilege of being her mother.  This picture is of her first step.  Wasn't I fortunate to have the camera handy just at that moment?  In those days I didn't use the camera much.  (how can you tell? lol )
I made the photo corners from the dp and mounted her picture on pop dots.  This is a 5" x 7" card.
Have a Blessed day.
