Butterfly Flower Fest

Here's a very simple card, but I love the doodle look and the fact that I can watercolor the image. The butterflies are from the Flower Fest stamp set, which I've been using quite a bit lately. I love the doodly openness of the images.

I stamped images with black Stazon and then colored the outer edges of the butterflies with Daffodil Delight. I added a pop of contrast with a couple of Poppy Parade scallop flowers from the Itty Bitty punch pack.

Hope that you're having a great day!

This isn't what I would call an official "doodle" card, but it does use some of the ideas you'd expect in a doodle card...black outlined border with some doodly images. Although when you think of a doodle card you think of whimsical images, which this doesn't have at all. Let's call it a formal-looking doodle card and leave it at that.

I used the stamp sets Summer Silhouettes, Papillon Potpourri, and a retired stamp set Sincere Salutations for the sentiment. The Summer Silhouette stamp set created a great leafy vine and I used the small flower from the set in the corners. I filled in the rest of the lines with my black marker.

Someday I'll make a real doodle card!

I keep finding myself turning to the digital download Tags For All when I need a quick card, or a fun way to dress up an ordinary package or envelope. This download is full of fun tags and embellishments and it offers some fun and diverse ideas when it comes to gift-giving. (See my previous post for another package idea)

My first share started off as an ordinary white envelope which I spruced up with a Tags For All bow and Happy Birthday tag. My only original touch was to recolor parts of the confetti on the tag. I printed up the bow and tag, got out my scissors, cut them out, attaching them to my envelope. What a cute embellishment!

My second share is a hybrid card I created using a digital tag from Tags for All which I used as a card front. Other digital elements include: Strawberry Slush Polka Dot DSP background from Tags for All; Strawberry Slush Bird from Sunny Day; Basic Black Sentiment from Hugs & Wishes. I cut a Basic Black CS border for the digital image and attached to the front of a Whisper White card front. I added a little black ribbon bow and a few rhinestones for embellishments.

My third hybrid share are Thank You tags. These were created with the digital elelments: Tags For All Thank You stamp; Summer Happiness Butterfly stamp; Tags For All Strawberry Slush Polka Dot DSP. The little butterfly was handstamped using the Papillon Potpourri stamp set in Basic Black on Strawberry Slush CS, and then punched with the Bitty Butterfly and dimensionaled to tag front.

On my last hybrid share I enlarged the above the tag, cutting off the tag shaped top to create a rectangle. I carefully added the black border on the top with a ruler and black Sharpie, attaching the digital image to the center of a Whisper White Framed Tulip embossed border, framed by a Basic Black border and attached to the front of a Strawberry Slush card front. The smaller butterfly was handstamped in Basic Black on Strawberry Slush CS with Papillon Potpourri stamp set and then punched with the Elegant Butterfly. I loved the big bold "Thank You"along with the bold colors of black, white, and pink...very fun!

I thought I'd share a few of the tag samples with you from the 

digital  Tags For All kit...fun, fun, fun set!

 

 

 Thanks so much for stopping by... I hope you all have a 

wonderful day!

Strawberry Crush Butterfly Thank You

I'm switching gears today and sharing a more detailed thank you card using the Strawberry Slush ink and card stock. There are great colors in this year's new in-colors, with Strawberry Slush being one of my favorites. It's a cross between pink and red....very pretty! I used lots of fun embellishments on this one. I began with the Delicate Doilies Sizzlit and textured it using the Square Lattice EB folder. The stamped butterfly is from the stamp set Papillon Potpourri which coordinates with the Elegant Butterfly punch and the sentiment is from the Best of Greetings. The greenery is the Little Leaves Sizzlit which I cut apart and adhered together so that it branched out at one end.

I love the wide scallop edge on the Large Scallop Edgelit and coordinating Delicate Designs EB folder. Everything worked together so nicely on this card. I love it when that happens.

Thanks for letting me share!
