Another Sneak Peek

Pin It Now!

Yesterday the temperature reached 106! It was already 90 when I ran some errands at 10:00 am & I'm so glad I didn't after go anywhere else for the day. Today is supposed to be the same; perhaps I should start on my Christmas cards so I'm not frantic come early December...? ;)

Today's sneak peek project uses a new set you can spend your earned hostess dollars on called "Precious Butterflies". The set includes a total of 9 stamps including 3 different sized butterflies & I used all the butterflies on this card. :) Hope you enjoy today's sneak peek:

The 2 larger ones were stamped in one of the new In Colors, Pool Party. I then stamped the smallest butterfly in another new In Color, Calypso Coral & cut them all out using my paper snips. The leaf/scroll image is one stamp but I wanted the scroll to be a different color so I used the Lucky Limeade marker (yet another new In Color) to color the leaf part & the Crumb Cake marker to color the scroll. I huffed on the entire stamp to moisten it before finally stamping it directly onto the white card front. The sentiment, from the same stamp set, was inked using Calypso Coral & stamped directly on the card front also. I layered the white piece onto a piece of Crumb Cake card stock & then added a strip of  Chocolate Chip 1/2" scallop dots ribbon before adhering it all to the Early Espresso card base. I wanted the butterflies to pop off the page so I used dimensionals. It isn't exactly how I pictured it in my mind but that's okay :) I really like those colors together & they're not a combo in the Color Coach either ;)

Stay cool & enjoy your day!
