Week 3 of Monika and Billie background - Butterflies and stripes

Monday March 16, 2015

 

Week 3 is Monika's choice and it's  BUTTERFLIES AND STRIPES

 

I knew what I wanted to do when she mentioned the butterflies and stripes.. It was trying to decide which butterfly to use. I have quite a few because it's a favorite image. I chose Taylored Expressions butterflies and sentiment. I masked them and then used my stripes by My favorite things and stamped the green over the masked butterflies.  I think I should of probably used a mouse pad or something under the card so it would of stamped better around the masking. I don't know if it would of helped or not. But I am happy with the layout of the card and colors.

 

I hope you make it over to Monika's blog Creative with Monika and see her butterflies and stripes card. Give her some love..

There are two sponsors this week.

 

We have Inky Impressions as one of our sponsors

I chose to use Angelica crafting for my image from Inky Impressions.  She looks so cute sitting there crafting away. I really had fun coloring and using some great colors. I thought I would keep with the hearts and do a little banner at the top. I like the stitching die cut from Lil inker. It gives a nice touch.

Catch the bug - Bugaboo New Release / BUNNY TRIO - happy spring

Tuesday March 10, 2015

 

It's Tuesday so that is New Release day at Bugaboo digi stamps  New release is Bunny Trio

 

Head over to Catch the bug to see our cards and what the Design Team did with the new image. Bunny Trio. I am not much for Easter cards so thought I would make it a Happy spring card instead. I don't know what it is lately but I am loving grey card stock.. and no it's not because of 50 shades of grey either..  I used washi tape because it needed some additional color and I have so much of it I need to use it up.  I colored each bunny a different color and then I saw somewhere on taking a towel and putting non colored copic on it and lay it over the colored image (before you color anything else) and it gives a texture look so I cut a 3 x 3 out of a terry towel and did it. So that is the texture you see on the bunnies. I then finished coloring the card. The little sentiment is from Paper trey ink.

 

Challenges:
Moving along with the times - show us the bunny

Eureka stamps #131 - atg
Crafting from the heart #50 - atg
