This card was for my oldest granddaughter. When she was a toddler she had imaginary butterflies who were her friends. One of her butterflies names was Zsa-Zsa. She has since gotten older, so I used the Papillon Potpourri stamp set and coordinating Elegant Butterfly punch to create a grown up Zsa-Zsa butterfly to add to her grown up card.
The color combination and Framed Tulip idea came from one of "Create with Connie and Mary's" color challenges (Rich Razzleberry, Night of Navy, Lucky Limeade).

I keep finding myself using the You are Loved stamp set, which worked so well for the floral motifs. The sentiment "Happiest Birthday" is from the Apothecary Art stamp set.

My granddaughter submitted a poem to Answers in Genesis and they published it on their blog. I'm sharing her poem here and the link to the post, "An Eleven-year-old Who Gets It!"

Oh, what a sight

When God created light.

He called the light day

And the darkness night.

He separated darkness

From light as you know.

God saw that it was good.

And this is not just a show.

What did God do

On day number two?

I’ll give you a hint,

I’ll give you a clue.

Sometimes it’s black

And sometimes it’s blue.

It’s heaven or sky,

Remember the clue?

What would it be like

Without fruit, trees, or plants?

Just try to imagine it.

I bet you can’t.

If God hadn’t created

Land on the third day

You’d always be floating

Or swimming.  No way!

Three days have passed

And there still are more.

And right now it is

Day number four.

When God creates

Very wonderful lights.

Like stars, sun, and moon

For thousands of nights.

This is what

The fifth day features:

Sea animals and Flying creatures.

He made all those

Creatures on that day.

And that is all

I have to say.

Now the sixth day

Is very neat.

So how about

We have a seat.

He made animals of land

And formed man by His hand.

Out of dust man came

And soon you will find out his name.

It’s day number seven

And our week is done.

Watching God create

Was really fun.

Now it’s time for

God to rest.

Which day did

You like the best?

Thanks for letting me share!

Apothecary Vellum Birthday card

Patty Bennet posted a cool tutorial on her blog using a water coloring on vellum technique. I used this technique to water color one of the embossed Apothecary Art stamp set images and the result is beautiful!
This is one of the cards I put together for my Stamp Club ladies this month. The theme for this month's cards was water coloring using the Apothecary Art stamp set. We also included one of the new framelits and edgelits, which added some fun details to the cards.

Apothecary Tags

Here's my "Thank You" tags that I made for some of my stamping friends this month. I used the Apothecary Art My Digital Studio stamp for the "For You" and water colored the floral image using Marina Mist, Calypso Coral, and Lucky Limeade ink. I ran the Crumb Cake tag base through my crimper and added a scalloped punched Calypso Coral decorative strip across the lower section of the tag.

Have a great day!

An Apothecary Birthday

I'm looking forward to creating cards with this new Apothecary Art stamp set. It's coordination with the Labels framelits make it a versatile set.

I used both the stamp set and framelit on this birthday card, along with the Edgelit Adorning Accents scallop die, along with the Adorning Accents embossing folders, more great coordinating accessories.
