Majestic Monarchs

Hello!
I had a few minutes this weekend to play in my craft room!  The boys enjoyed one of the last flying days of the season on Saturday so I took advantage of hanging out with my paper, stamps and ink!

I'm still working on filling an order of nature inspired cards and what doesn't scream nature more than butterflies?!  I could make dozens of cards with butterflies!

I started with the Fusion card challenge sketch!  It fit my butterflies perfectly!  I decided to pair it with the colours from the Card Concept challenge (using the Clean and Simple style).  I don't really use Halloween cards so I knew that instead of halloween I could do monarchs!

Papillon Potpourri is one of my favourite stamp sets!  Those butterflies totally make me smile!  I used my Score Board to create the lines on the bottom of the front white panel!  I chose a sentiment from a PTI stamp set.  I tried colouring the butterflies to start with but ended up having to just stamp them on some Pumpkin Pie cardstock!  My colouring skills need some work!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie
Stamps: Papillon Potpourri, PTI (Sentiment)
Ink: Basic Black
Other: Elegant Butterfly Punch, Dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by!
I hope you have a fabulous day!

Jen!

Petite Petals Thank You

Hello!
This is going to be a quick post tonight.  I must get to bed....5:45 comes early in the morning to be up and working out!!!  I got to spend a few minutes in my craft room over the weekend.  I was rather excited!  This week is going to be busy so I don't know how much time I'll get in there!

I decided to play along with the Card Concept and CAS(E) This Sketch Challenges this week.  

I need some thank you cards and thought that this sketch would be perfect!  I wanted to try out a few of my new stamp sets as well and was able to for this card!

I added an embossed border along the edge at the last minute.  I wasn't sure at first if I should but the card looked rather naked without it!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Pink Pirouette, Strawberry Slush
Stamps: Petite Petals, Four You
Ink: Early Espresso, Versamark
Other: Petite Petals Punch, Delicate Designs Embossing Folder, Basic Pearls, Clear Embossing Powder

Thanks for stopping by!  I will be back tomorrow with another card!

Have a fabulous day!
Jen
