The Butterfly and The Medallion

Hi everyone,

Playing with leftover pieces of paper here today. I made do with what I had on my desk, literally. And I'm quite happy with the result!

 

 

There's no sentiment on the card because I might give it as a Mother's Day card or a Happy Birthday one.  So it's going in my stash as is until I need it. 

Both the medallion and the butterfly are from Pink Paislee's Butterfly Garden Stamp Set. The medallion was stamped on Whisper White with Always Artichoke from SU and I added pearls in the center. The butterfly was stamped on watercolor paper with Dark Brown Chalk Ink by ColorBox and then embossed with clear EP. I then colored the inside with Twinkling H2O's but it's tough to capture the nice shimmer of it. I also added some pearls in the center of the butterfly.

Have a nice stampin' day !!!

wedding bells for the newlyweds

Hi everyone,

Wow, I got so involved in what I've been doing for the part few days that I completely forgot to post yesterday! Here's a wedding card that I managed to squeeze in.

I used some wedding papers I bought a long long long time ago for a wedding album project; it's a DCWV paper pack called Wedding Prints. The rest is pretty simple... some light pink Bazzill CS that I had lying around, a little bit of green moss to highlight the stamped image and a scallop square mat.

Where I had the most fun was with experimenting with my Twinkling H2o's to color the image. I first embossed it in silver than I colored in with Pink Cloud, Moss Green and Oyster. I also added a bit of silver Prismacolor pencils on the tolls of the bells. I love the shimmer of the H2o's.

Have a nice stampin' day !!!
