Challenge – Scribble and Scrap

Hello

Today I am sharing a card I have made for my Gran’s Birthday which is in a couple of weeks.

I am linking up to the May challenge at Scrapbook Boutique here.

This is the perfect inspiration for a card for Gran. She loves butterflies and I think they are pretty great too.

Here is my card

I started by inking my Tim Holtz embossing folder with SU brown sugar ink and embossing SU Kraft cardstock. Next I stamped a couple of images from Papersmooches Botanicals 1 & 2 with SU Old Olive ink using second generation stamping to get variations in colour onto SU Very Vanilla cardstock. I die cut this with Lifestyle crafts nesting circles and a base in green from my scraps using the same set of dies. I die cut butterflies from glimmer gold paper (not sure where I got this from and it lighter than normal cardstock) using SU Butterflies thinlits and SU embosslits Beautiful wings. I layered all this onto my card front along with a scrap of twill ribbon and a die cut Mpress Birdcage cut from off white glimmery paper. To finish off I added a few sequins I picked up from Trimmings and Remnants.

Here is a closer pic. I used my phone for the pics today.

Thanks for stopping

Cheers

Hello

Today I am sharing the Mother’s Day card I made for my Gran. A little late. I didn’t get a chance to visit Gran until late last week. Gran has become forgetful so she didn’t notice I was a few days late. It can be rather funny some days to explain who you are!

I used Annabelle Stamps Designer Flowers, Stemmed Flowers (leaf) and Butterfly Sunshine (sentiment). The inks I used were SU Smoky slate, Lucky Limeade, Daffodil Delight and Tim Holtz Abandoned coral (reinker + uninked pad). The sentiment is also from Annabelle Stamps Designer Flowers stamped in Memento Tuxedo black and die cut with Inspired by Stamping Fancy Label Dies 3 and PTI oval limitless layers dies.
