Sunset

Hello again ... yes I'm back 2 days in a row!

I wanted to enter the challenge at Less is More this week which ends tonight! It's a colour challenge this week ''Sunset'', using colours that this word brings to mind.
I've combined it with the challenge at Addicted to CAS which uses the code word "Butterfly" & also the CAS(E) this Sketch challenge.

I used Tim Holtz distress inks in mustard seed, spiced marmalade & fired brick blended together on glossy white card to make the background which I then trimmed into 4 squares. The butterfly was stamped in Versafine onyx black ink & die cut using Clearly Besotted "Butterfly Wishes" stamps & dies.The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

Thanks for popping by & hope you have a lovely weekend.

Less is More: For our Colour Challenge this week 

we have chosen

SUNSET

Butterflies

Following on from yesterday's post I have another fresh out of the wrapping Clearly Besotted stamp set & some new Stampin' Up goodies which I combined to make this card:

I used my new purchase of the Stampin' Up Paper Piercing Essentials pack to make the piercing around the circle & was pleasantly suprised how quick & easy it was to do. I die cut the MFT 'hi' die from the silver paper, thereby using the negative of the die for the sentiment. This is a great technique to use for sentiments as you instantly have perfect alignment without having to individually glue & place every letter!

Mother's Day

Just a quick post. I've made a few cards for Mother's Day so I thought I'd share them with you ...

I'm going to enter the above card in the 'Inspired by nature' challenge on the Make My Monday blog. The challenge this week is to see cards & projects with a naturalistic theme. I love the stamps & matching Leafy accents dies from Clearly Besotted I used to make this card.

The above card was made using strips of washi tape aligned all the way down a strip of cardstock to make it appear like a seamless sky! I then stuck some red spotted washi tape onto a piece of cardstock & die cut the butterflies with the Butterfly Wishes dies. I'm entering this card  in the Washi Tape Challenge in the Moxie Fab World. Moxi Fab World have a card creations week this week with a different challenge every day, go take a look!

Dies: Leafy Accents - Clearly Besotted; Butterfly Wishes - Clearly Besotted; Circles & scallop - Spellbinders
