Butterfly Beauty

Happy Wednesday and only days away from Christmas! The cards I am featuring today uses one of my fave images....the butterfly and were done using the Butterfly Beauty, Wedding Wishes and Four Little Sentiments. I did both of these butterflies by spraying distress inks in fossilized amber and pealed paint.....I mixed the colors more and turned them kind of mudding in second card. After spraying the inks onto mat, I added some water and then stamped the butterfly in the colors and onto watercolor paper. Super easy quick and addicting!

Snowflakes on a Diagonal

Good morning!  It's Holly posting today.  Do you have snow outside your window right now?  I don't have any yet, but we do have some freezing cold weather coming our way later on this week.  I'm ready to hunker down and enjoy some hot cocoa and snuggle under a blanket.

I pulled out one of my favorite stamp sets from Technique Junkies called Snowflakes and played around with them.  On a white card base, I blended some pale blue ink in the upper left corner.  Then I randomly stamped the different snowflakes in different colors in a diagonal line.  I left just enough white space on the bottom half of the card so I could stamp the sentiment.  Both the snowflakes and the sentiment are from the Snowflakes set.

Today (Sunday, Dec. 18) is the last day of the big sale at Technique Junkies.  Some of the stamps have sold out, so grab the ones on your wish list before they are gone.  You can use my code, TJ10Holly, to save an additional 10% on the already discounted prices.  My code will also save you 10% off all of the regular priced stamps as well, such as the Snowflakes set that I used on the card above.  Have fun shopping and have a wonderful day!

O' Christmas Tree

 Hello!  

How are all of your Christmas preparations going? I just wrapped up my last craft show for the year.  I need to start focusing on wrapping presents and making some Christmas treats.   I'm still trying to sneak in a few more Christmas cards in before the season escapes us.  

I used these stamps by Technique Junkies to create this silly card.  This cat stamp has been a long time favorite. It paired perfectly with the new Christmas tree stamp.  Just to spice up the layout a little I used the vertical Merry Christmas.  I like that you can see it when the card is closed and open.  What do you think?
