Fall Time and Gusty Winds!

Hi everyone,

It’s challenge time again with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. This week our challenge hostess, Brenda continues to bring us the October challenges.

Our challenge this week is Fall colors with leaves and a punched border.

Ok I confess I forgot the punched border but shhhhhhhhhhhhh maybe the other CCEE gals won’t notice that I forget it .

For my card this week I used Alota Rubber Stamps Fall Girl and Dog stamp, perfect for fall don’t you think! The sentiment is one I had for years from CC Rubber Stamps which I thought worked well with this image.



Here is the inside of my card, pretty simple I just added a sentiment and a piece of the designer paper that I used on the outside.

 Cindy Haffner our challenge hostess for this month has supplied us with another fantastic sketch to use, to finish off our September Sketches theme.

This week I used Sugar Nellies Gorjuss Girls “Sitting”. I have been wanting this stamp for ages and finally was able to get around to ordering it. I also used the eyelet borderabilities for the horizontal strip across my card.

Butterfly Wishes!

Hi again!

It’s time for another Pretties Wednesday challenge with all the Prettie Girls.

Two weeks ago it was Jessica Diedrich’s turn to issue the challenge to us all. Her instructions were the following:

“In the spirit of Spring and the coming Summer...and well, since it's my FAVORITE thing (In fact, I can't believe I haven't done this already, LOL)....I challenge the Prettie Girls to create a card using a BUTTERFLY somewhere on the card.”

It seems like forever since I have done anything butterfly related on my cards so I had to think about it for awhile. I figured the best set to use was the Paper Pretties Simply Special set as it had the watering can and plant and we all know butterflies love plants.

To cover my bases I grad all sorts of butterfly related stamps, papers and tools (some I didn’t end up using). My designer paper is a basic grey one that is covered with butterflies. I also found my CC Rubberstamps butterfly punch stamp that matches perfectly with a butterfly punch I had making it super easy to stamp and punch out multiple butterflies. I also found a few butterfly sentiments & verses that I figured I would use too.

Here is a close up of one of my butterflies on my card. As you can see I stamped and punched out two butterflies, I then folded up the wings of one of the butterflies and just added adhesive to the body part only and attached it over my second butterfly thus making it 3 D. I probably went a little over board with my butterflies but I was having fun stamping and punching so why not *giggle*

 

Here is the inside of my card, again I used my butterfly designer paper and also one of my butterfly verses.

Well I hope this was enough butterflies for you Jessica and thanks for a fun challenge!
