Four Feathers with washi

This card was cased from Linda Throgmorton. The stamp set is 'Four Feathers' and I used the matching framelits.

The card base is Whisper White and the embossed background is Lost Lagoon.

I cut out a feather from the top layered Lost Lagoon piece and added Washi Tape (from Fall Catalogue) behind the opening. Then I stamped one feather with a Early Espresso on Lost Lagoon card stock (this was actually the piece that was cut out from the top layer) and one feather with Lost Lagoon on whisper White.

I used Early Espresso Bakers Twine and a retired bronze button (you could use any kind of button here)

Love is Kindness

This 'Love is Kindness' stamp from the spring catalogue is super versatile and I love how this turned out with these soft pink colours (pink pirouette)

Sheltering tree for valentines

This card is using same colours as the previous card and using the same stamp set. Just added the pink Strawberry Slush hearts for Valentine's Day card

Sheltering tree

Sheltering tree I one of my favourite stamp sets from the spring catalogue.

I used various pink tone inks for the leafs and love how the card turned out

Blinged out butterflies

I cut out a 2.5" circle and covered it with the Sweet Deams Washi tape and adhered it on top of the doiley.

The butterflie was cut to from Crisp Cantsloupe card stock. The stamps used are from Kinda eclectic and have been stamped with Silver Encore ink and silver embossing powder

Butterflies and gold

The new occasions catalogue has some great new thinlits dies. One of them has three different sized butterflies. This card is using the middle sized one. This design was cases from Bronwyn Eastley.

I layered the Dooley with a piece of Designer series paper (cannot recall which...) and fancy foil designer vellum

I used the brushed gold cardStock as my card base and cut the butterfly from Bermuda bay card stock

Great tip for getting all those bits out of your cut out butterfly and your die is to first run your die on it's ow through your BigShot but instead of cutting thorough paper, cut through 8 layers of unscented drier sheets!! This will coat your die so bits won't get stuck (and if they do, just run your die through again and the bits will stuck on the drier sheets, you can use your sheets multiple times and you can turn them inside out to get more cutting area. If your bits get stuck on your cut out image, just run that (without the die) through with drier sheets and out they will pop!!

Spring has arrived... Well... At least the new catalogue :-)

I simply love this new lotus blossom stamp set from the Sale-a-bration catalogue!!

The colours are Crisp Cantaloupe, calypso Coral and Blushing Bride.
