Butterfly Girl

I used this gorgeous stamp today from Crafts and Me.  She's just super.  I had some gorgeous shimmer paper from Paper Temptress that I cut out using Spellbinders (Flame Mica) to make the background behind my image that is done on Neenah Solar white.  I used some circular orange confetti that i found to do simple embellishments.

She's just a lovely image.  I love the rich reds and oranges and of course, the striped hose that she's wearing.  I have to wonder if I am starting to dress like these stamps or if I am buying stamps because I like the way the images are dressed.  Hmmm.....

Project Materials:  Cardstock (Bazzill, Flame Mica, Neenah);  Stamps (Crafts and Me);  Ink (Memento, Colorbox Chalk);  Confetti (Hobby Lobby);  Adhesives (Pop dots, Glue All, Glue Dots);  Die Cuts (Spellbinders Nestabilities); Color (Copic Markers);

Girl with an attitude

Here's a beautiful butterfly girl card that I made on some fabulous papers from Paper Temptress. You can see the column texture on the yellow background and the glittery shimmer on the red border cardstock.  These are just in conjunctions with some fabulous white cardstock that's perfect for copic marker coloring!  This image comes from Crafts and Me in the UK.

The Yellow cardstock is called Sunshine Yellow skinny columns. The gorgeous red cardstock was punched using an EK Sucess border punch and is called Sparkle Vermilion.  The paper I used to stamp the image on is Neenah Solar White.  Paper Temptress also sells several other great white papers that go with copic makers, including a sample package, which lets you try a couple of sheets of each brand (click here).

Hope you liked this amazing girl, she does have quite an attitude, huh?

I love you!

Here's a stunning image from Crafts and Me.  I love this artist's images and had to get this stamp.  I made this card for my husband John.  I used wonderful XoXo ribbons coupled with a great I {heart} you sentiment done in bling.   This girl looks like a lady who gets what she wants, doesn't she?  Well, I always get what I want, I don't even have to ask for it, he just gives it to me. Isn't he perfect?

Violet Angel

Here's a new stamp artist that I have fallen in love withm her name is Jasmine Becket-Griffith and she has some stunning images!   I think they may somewhat remind me of Terra Biddlespatcher, but they definitely have their own flair to them.  I picked up several of her designs recently, so you will be seeing many of her stamps.  This stamp is called Violet Angel, but as you can see, I colored it up like a Red Rose.
