White Butterfly.

This week, I chose one of my favorite stamp, the gorgeous butterfly from the Nordic Spring set for the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #124. I embossed it on vellum. The background is also made on vellum. I made many little squares with one of the doily of the Dainty Doilies - Large set to make it look like a crocheted blanket. I added two wings made with crackle accents, two Spellbinders hearts and one Marianne Design die cut under the butterfly. I also added two crocheted (the smallest is made by my Mom) and one vellum flower, crocheted lace, a velvet ribbon and some twine. The tag is made with the Opera Tags die cut and the sentiment is from the Opera Tags Stamps. To finish it off I added many little white pearls and a pink button.

Here's the great sketch made by Karin Åkesdotter:


I will also this card to the Ribbon Reel Challenge #41 'Crochet'. We are asked to create a card using crochet lace or crochet flower plus button and ribbon/twine. Here's the beautiful inspiration photo Zuzana has chosen:

White Butterfly and Heart.

Just had time to make a card for this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge! I chose the gorgeous butterfly from the Nordic Spring stamp set. I stamped it on vellum with white embossing powder. I adhered it on the heart which comes from the Seasons of Love-Tags stamp set. I made a felt scalloped heart with a Spellbinders die. Then I embossed on vellum again some flourishes which come from the Flourishes - Scalloped and Dots stamp set. I put three white pearls on them. I stitched the edges and also added a ribbon and some jute twine. The sentiment is from the Half Pint Heroes stamp set. To finish off the card, I put a cute wooden heart with twine on the butterfly.

I will also enter this card to the Blog Party of this month! The theme for August is Birthdays!

A card for a baby girl

This card was made with one of the Nordic Spring cute stamps. The little heart was made with Make Your Mark stamp set and the text with Fancy Phrases set. The pom-poms were made with pink twine. The background of the heart is made with white felt and I also embossed a piece of white paper with a Cuttlebug embossing folder (Birds and Swirls).
