Fly Away!

Do you fancy flying away much? Or is it just me!! As we can't fly away to the US and stock up on our favourite stamp brands you can buy them here instead!!  We're showing you lots of different sets this week. This beautiful butterfly is part of the 'Butterfly Moments' set from Flourishes.

If you didn't know-this is an exciting week-as the rebranded and restocked shop is open after a slight reorganisation. It's looking great & as a first week celebration we're all focussing on Flourishes as a design team. 

Unfortunately Flourishes closed its wholesale programme at the end of 2013 so we will no longer be able to carry new lines from their range in the Store. So we are showcasing a different set each day from the stock we have remaining and if you enter the

code FLOURISH25 at checkout you will receive an automatic 25% discount on any Flourishes product.

That's a good deal in anyones book. 

This butterfly would be brilliant stamped twice onto acetate and one of the sides flipped over to create a larger double sided butterflu. The shadow on the card isn't my lighting, it's a grey marker pen used to give the illusion of shadow!

Come back tomorrow and see another beautiful set!

See you soon,

Butterfly and paint

I'm back using the Flourishes - Butterfly Moments stamps for my card this week.

I used Kraft cardstock and dry-brushed acrylic paint around the edges and at the bottom before stamping the sentiment from the Flourishes set.

I then added a printed die-cut and some premade flowers:

As always, thanks for visiting!

Butterfly Postcard

I like to have a few postcards ready to send so used the Flourishes butterfly stamps to make this one.

I stamped the butterflies on to the postcard using Versamark ink and then heat embossed them with clear embossing powder. I then used Ranger Distress inks to colour over the card before using an iron to remove the embossing and leave the butterflies.

Finally I stamped the sentiment using distress ink:

Thanks for visiting!!

Butterflies and Doilies

I've used stamps by 2 different manufacturers to make my card today - Butterfly Moments by Flourishes and Bella Doilies by Unity Stamps.

I used one of the fab Doily stamps on the background paper inked with Versamark ink and then embossed with clear embossing powder.

I stamped the sentiment from the butterfly set on to paper I'd cut with with a Nestabilities die. The two butterflies were stamped on to patterned paper and then cut out before being stuck on the card:

Materials used:

Kraft cardstock, Prima papers

Unity and Flourishes stamps (as above), Ranger sepia Archival ink

Kaisercraft rhinestones

Nestabilities dies

Thanks for visiting!
