All Things Beautiful

Flutterby Wednesday - FBW185 Bright Colors
Just Us Girls - JUGS118 Sketch
Our Daily Bread Designs - ODBDSLC91 New & Old


This week at Flutterby Wednesday we are fighting the Winter Blahs with bright colors!   Just remember to include a butterfly, fairy or angel on your creation too!  {wink}

I just received my first ever order from Our Daily Bread Designs and absolutely {love} their stamps!  Deeply-etched, purple rubber stamps, pre-cut and mounted on cling cushion for you - and they even included a chocolate bar {yum!}  It's no secret that I love making butterfly cards and they have some fabulous butterfly stamps in their store. 


I inked up the Grunge Butterfly Background with my brayer and Spectrum Kaleidacolor ink pad.  Then I rock-n-rolled the solid image from 2-Step Butterflies  and stamped a saying from the Faith set over it.  


Following the sketch from this week's JUGS challenge made putting this card together a snap!  Add some glitter, ribbon and bling  from my {old} stash to my {new} stamps and I've got a card that I can't wait to share!  


Thanks for fluttering by with a visit today.  I hope to see lots of your bright creations in the Flutterby Wednesday challenge this week!

JUGS with PMS

"Just Us Girls" - JUGS76 Color Challenge
SCS Sketch Challenge - SC324

How's that for a funny title?!  {LOL}  Paper Makeup Stamps (PMS) is sponsoring this week's challenge over at Just Us Girls (JUGS).   Our mutual design team member, Lisa Kind, chose the colors Baja Breeze, Soft Sky, So Saffron and Pink Pirouette.

I am so ready for Spring to officially arrive tomorrow that I just had to use one of the flowers from the new set Springtime Solids on my card.  And it's nearly impossible to see, but I filled in the white centers of every flower with a clear spica glitter pen - they are so shimmery in real life. 

One lucky participant in the JUGS challenge will win a $20 gift certificate to the PMS Store.  Be sure to check out their blog for the rules and some lovely sample creations by their design team.  Then head on over to the PMS blog for more samples by the Makeup Artists!

Warm Memories

Just Us Girls Charity Challenge
Scrapmaster's Paradise Color Combo #24
Splitcoast Sketch Challenge #255

Featured here is a very special charity stamp in memory of Henry Anderson. Paper Makeup Stamps offers it as both a digi image and a rubber stamp with the proceeds going to Henry's family. JUGs is hosting a charity challenge to make a card using the Henry Snow Angel image.

I used today's sketch from Splitcoast and the color combo of Bashful Blue, Real Red and Certainly Celery from Scrapmaster's Paradise. I printed the Henry digi image and colored him in with a blender pen and inks. I added my favorite dazzling diamonds glitter to the snow. Henry is cut out and popped up over the blue panel with dimensional tape.

For the green background, I took the three snowflakes from Snow Happy and arranged them all on the same acrylic block. That made stamping my background a breeze! I am so enjoying unmounted stamps! :) The sentiment is one by Great Impressions that I picked up from a local craft store and it is stamped on shimmery white paper for some extra snow sparkle.

Ink: Stazon Jet Black, Printer, Real Red, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, Close to Cocoa, Pretty in Pink, Blush Blossom
