A Trio of butterflies

Evening all

Thought I would share with you a card that I have made using a Kanban stamp set called A trio of butterflies.

As I have said above the butterfly stamp is an A5 stamp set from Kanban and is called "A Trio of Butterflies" I managed to get my set of Ebay for £4.95 which was not a bad price to pay for such a gorgeous stamp.  The swirls stamp below is also a Kanban A5 stamp set the same price as the butterflies one and again was purchased from Ebay.

I have cut the butterflies to 9cm x 9.5cm as the stamp itself is not square and distressed it with the Tea dye distress ink.  Believe it or not the card colours are from one of the packs of card that Lidl sell occasionally for £1.99 for 25 sheets of different colour card.  Its weight is 270gsm and works well for layering as well as for a good sturdy card base.

I have tried to match the inside of the card to the outside and think it has worked quite well.

Thank you for visiting my blog and any comments would be gratefully appreciated.

Commissioned Cards

Good afternoon all

I have had a few requests from friends and family to make some cards, a couple of golden wedding cards and a 70th birthday card.

The golden wedding anniversary cards have been inspired by a card over on the docrafts site made by Niftynita and can be found here if you would like to take a look.

Both cards have been made using Stardream card and have been stamped with gold pigment ink and embossed with WOW embossing powders.  The sentiment is computer generated.

The next card was commissioned for a 70th birthday.

The sentiment is computer generated, card, gems and ribbon are from my stash.  The image is from Fizzy Moon and has been coloured in with promarkers.
