Cardz 4 Galz #270

Theme: Wings (butterflies / birds / fairies

I created this card with scraps.. I had a piece of acetate left on my desk from last month. So since it's hard to lose since it's clear I thought lets use for this card.  I cut strips of designer paper and adhered diagonally and then turned over and cut the over hanging pieces off. I added to a die cut  card piece with a few foam strips behind the strips to hide them. And added this to a card base the same color. I added the foil color butterfly that was die cut out.  I opted to not add a sentiment cause I didn't want to take away from the front beauty.

Cardz 4 Guyz #383

Theme: Monochrome colors

I had a friend over and I was making cards for design teams I am on and she was just using my stamps and papers and creating. She made a card with this old red rubber Stampin up set.. And I said oh wow I need to create a card and dug through my scrap box (it's big) and found these scraps. Now to find a card base with that color.. found it. so I stamped and fussy cut the flowers and leaves. I used a zig zag die for the steam and used the Simon Says smile die which I stacked to make it sturdy.. I really like how it came out.

For my card the white background I stamped the leaves and sentiment, then used an embossing folder and layered it on to the purple background.
