Simple Salutations at Mark's Finest Papers Challenge #96

Good Morning friends and followers.  So happy to see y'all have taken a moment of your precious time to come visit me.  I truly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.

Today is a good day to visit because today is not only Hump Day  Woot! it's the start of a new challenge at Simple Salutations at the Mark's Finest Papers ning site.

This week our challenge is to create a MOTHER's DAY card.  Now, don't fear.  Those of you who no longer have your mothers can create a card for a Special Lady in your life.  We all have those don't we?

This pretty card uses one of the new stamps just released this month.  It's called "Oriental Joy".  I love this butterfly and circle frame.  It's beautiful.  If you want to see the rest of May's releases, please stay tuned for my next post...I will showcase them all.

The Crafter's Cafe Challenge

Hello there.  Welcome back to my little spot in blog land.  I am so grateful to everyone of you who take the time to come see what I have been up to.

Today's card is for the new Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog challenge.  It's Anything Goes and the DT used Eureka images this week.

I chose "The Legend of the Butterfly" for my card.  It's a beautiful story.  I trimmed it down and inked the edges before matting it on a piece of Cream card stock.  The card base is made from the same Cream Recollections card stock.  The patterned papers are from K & Co.  All those cute little butterflies are made from the Martha Stewart punches, but I'm not sure of the names.  The one punch has the larger butterfly and the other has three smaller butterflies.  I added some pearls to the bigger ones to finish off my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope y'all will consider joining us at TCCCB this week.  Have a great day and God bless!

Digi Darla Mondays

Good morning friends.  Today is Kierstynne's first day of school.  Busy, busy.  We have a back to school meeting at noon so I'm posting early.

This week at Digi Darla our challenge is "Anything Goes with a Twist--use a digi stamp, bow, and at least one butterfly."  

I cheated a bit and used a paper that had bows on it. The digi is called Summerfly Flowers.  I colored them with Chromatix Alcohol Pens and added some Sakura Clear Star pen.  I stamped the sentiment from a set of words from The Paper Studio.  I love this sentiment set because you can create your own phrases and there are words for every occasion.  

The card base is standard A2 size and is SU Old Olive. I found that beautiful flowered paper in my stash and thought it worked beautiful for this card.  I matted the image onto the same Old Olive card stock and used pop dots to adhere it to the card.

Thanks so much for stopping in today.  I hope to see some of your creations entered into our challenge this week.  Have a great Monday and God bless.
