Butterfly Brilliance

Our new challenge theme over at

    TAG TUESDAY

has been chosen by Sandie and she wants to see

THINGS WITH WINGS.

I dug out my Butterfly Brilliance stamp set,

stamped the background and added some colour around them.

The butterfly on top was die cut from my papers

and the sentiment was stamped using Lovely You stamp set.

I matted it onto black card and finished

with an eyelet and ribbon.

Hope you get time to join us.

Happy Monday!

My card today has an autumnal feel but also maybe end of summer 😎

I have gone with a black base then inked up my mat

using poppy parade, then pumpkin pie, and finishing with bumblebee inks.

Then using the Stitchery Stamp Set,

I choose a few different stitches, spaced them out and

then stamped them down the card using black ink.

The sentiment came from a set called Lovely You and it has a

matching punch called Lovely Labels.

So I punched some black and smaller piece of white at one end

so I could layer up my sentiment.

The sentiment just about fits (bad stamping lol),

and I added a wee flower and gem to pop on the end.

I then thought the top was a bit bare sooooo,

using dragonfly garden stamp and punch set I made a matching

dragonfly.

Butterflies & Flowers

I am enjoying my stencilling at the minute so

thought I would make another tag.

I had another play with the

Butterflies & Flowers layering decorative masks

from Stampin' Up!

I used the daisy background one and the butterfly one

with melon mambo, grapefruit grove and pale papaya inks.

The flowers and sentiment are from a set called

Lovely You.

I did a quick video over on YouTube

which you can watch here.

Ladybirds at Tag Tuesday

It's the second week of our challenge over at Tag Tuesday

where the theme is

LADYBIRDS.

For my tag this week I have used Lovely You stamp set

to create the flower garden.

I inked up a cloudy sky and then added some of the little ladybirds

from the Bee Crafty stamp set.

I finished by flicking some ink and adding a baker's twine bow.

Hope you get time to join us.
