Scripty Butterflies with Leah

Alas, my reign of watercolor has ended for this month, lol, but that doesn't mean I won't do it again soon muwahahahaha.

For this project, although not watercolor, it is an equally fun technique, that you can find more about on my blog at Ode to Paper.  I used the Flutterby #2 Sweet Cuts die for this technique, as well as the Artsy Fartsy French Script ATC background stamp, Framed Handwritten Words clear stamp set, some Glastique and some Shades Dye Ink in Amaryllis.

There are so many dies, stamps and other fun stuff in the Sweet Stamps online shop, and you create so many different things with them!  The possibilities are endless, and i want to try them all!!!!!

See you next month (lol) for more Sweet Stamps creative fun :)

By the Sea

 

Back to basics beach cards.

 

Simple. Minimalistic.

 

I stamped plain cream cards using images from the

 At the Shore Sketches Set

 

Basic colored pencils used to color these.

 

Color coordinated eyelets complete these.

 

It's summer and the living is easy.

Challenge #132, Birthday -- Thanks, Sweet Stamps!

Greetings, sweet friends.  Julie here from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers.  August is fast coming to a close, which means my month of guest designing for Sweet Stamps is ending.  I have enjoyed it very much! I want to once again thank Stacey, Kendra, and the entire Sweet Stamps team for the opportunity to guest design.

 I have one final card to share. This week's challenge is a birthday challenge.  Everyone needs a supply of birthday cards, so make one and enter the challenge!  I used several Sweet Stamps images on this card, including my favorite butterflies.  Here's what I made:

I used one of the  new ArtsyfArtsy stamps (AF4), "French Calligraphy" to create the background layer on this card, my favorite "Fanciful Butterflies" set (S600), and "Fancy Birthday Stacked" (9099D) for the Sweet Stamps images. The doily is also from the Sweet Stamps store. It is a Cheery Lynn die, Eastern Star (DL230).  It cuts beautifully! Designer papers are My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing Bluebell 6x6, and can be found in the Sweet Stamps store.

I think most people would be pleased to get this birthday card, what about you?

For more details about how I made this card, please visit my blog.

Again, thank you for a wonderful month!
