Just For You

Have you ever bought a stamp set (or other crafting item) and set it aside only to completely forget about it?  That's exactly what I have done.  I completely neglected the Watercolor Wings Stamp set since the day it was delivered.  I had the best intentions when the set was purchased but as the months went by it just sat there.....waiting to be used.  Not anymore!  I pulled the set out today and created this gorgeous card!  

Although I had originally planned to use the Watercolor Wings butterfly stamp, I had this beautiful butterfly already watercolored and ready to go.  How could I pass that up?

Here is a close up- it's hard to see in the first picture but there are several flecks of Clear Wink of Stella as well as some gorgeous Metallic Gold Thread.  

Thanks for stopping by!  

Remember- tomorrow May 31, 2016 is the last day to order from the Retired List!  Get them while you still can!!!

Pop Of Paradise...

Can you believe it's almost time for a brand new Stampin' Up! catalog?  It doesn't seem possible that a year has already flown by!  Where does the time go?
As a Stampin' Up! demo one of my favorite perks is the ability to preorder products before the catalog goes live.  As I was browsing through the catalog the Pop of Paradise stamp set really stood out to me.  After all I do adore cards, clothes, paintings, dishes and pretty much anything else that uses the color scheme black, white and a "pop" of color.  Needless to say- I was beyond thrilled to see it on the preorder list! 

There is a wide array of images in the Pop of Paradise stamp set but for this card I chose the Thinking of You sentiment paired with the new Sweet & Sassy Framelits.  The perfect combination for this sweet card.

Ingredients:

Card Stock:  Basic Black, Whisper White, Melon Mambo

Stamps:  Pop of Paradise

Inks:  VersaMark

Tools/other supplies:  Big Shot, Sweet & Sassy Framelits, Blushing Bride Sequin Trim, Mini Banner punch, Confetti Hearts Border Punch, Melon Mambo Thick Bakers Twine, Gold Metallic Thread
