Primary Colours

Over on MFT Stamps Summer School is in and yesterday's lesson was 'Primary Colours'; red, blue and yellow.  So to reflect I was listening to my teacher I made this last night but waited until today to photograph in good daylight.

I used Distress Inks, Salty Ocean, Festive Berries and Squeezed Lemonade, stamped Elegant Butterflies in Black Archival ink then punch them out with my Elegant and Bitty butterfly punches from Stampin'  Up!

Gold Glitter and Mint Macaron Card

Stampin' Up! New colours for 2015/2017 are glorious and I particularly love Mint Macaron.  This shade works perfectly with either silver or gold.  For today's card I chose gold.

I used Mint Macaron for my base, gold velum to make an envelope and both gold foil and glimmer paper to punch the tiny hearts. 

I made the bow with the Bow Builder punch and assembled this with hot glue.  I sandwiched a gold paperclip in between and this can come off the card to keep in a diary or personal journal.

The butterfly was punched from the Bitty punch and to coordinate I used my Crop-a-Dile to punch tiny gold circle to decorate down the centre from the gold glimmer card.

Pretty.  Hope today brings you peace and happiness.  Take care of you.

Gold, Navy and Pink Card

Some days you just feel as if it's not coming together.  I knew what I wanted to do but when I started I really struggled.  Here it is....

This is the Stitched die from Dienamics.

I like it but I'm not really loving it, maybe it's the circles.  I wanted to use them as other cards I have seen look amazing, but it's so out of my comfort zone as I'm usually a straight line kinda girl lol.

I do love the butterfly, it's one from the Heidi Swapp collection and I foiled it with gold foil in the Minc.

I then used a strip of gold glimmer card from Stampin' Up! just to get back to my comfort zone lol. The pink is from my stash and the gray is Basic Gray fro SU.  The sentiment has been heat embossed with gold embossing powder from SU also the die cut using a Dienamics die.  The small butterflies were punched from the Bitty butterfly punch with the tiny gold spots punched from my Crop-A-Dile and adhered with Glossy Accents.

Well I hope you love this card and appreciate more than myself.    I like it lol, but just don't love it.  I feel awful admitting this, please forgive me.

Take care of you.

Seven Card Flush

Today I have been inspired by Keisha Campbell whose style I greatly admire.  I have used a layout she has made previously and I combined this with both my Stampjn' Up! And Teresa Colłins, Urban Market products.  

Here they are.

The middle hexagon has been raised on two Dimentionals and the hexagons on either side raised on one.

Each card has a different sentiment.

The butterflies were adhered using Crystal Effects.

The larger hexagons were punched using a hexagon punch, the smaller one's from the Hexagon die both from Stampin' Up!  The velum and rhinestones are also from SU.  The butterflies were punched using both the Elegant and Bitty butterfly punches.  The card is from Teresa Collins.  The vine background is a now retired embossing folder from SU also.

I hope your Sunday is full of sunshine and happiness.  Take care of you.
