Another G--Great Friend

This is such a beautiful stamp set! And it's so easy to use. This is another sketch from splitcoast. I used the designer prints paper pack that was a level one hostess gift. The colors used are basic gray, pretty in pink and regal rose. I didn't use any regal rose ink because it seemed too dark so I used pretty in pink on the middle butterfly, then I "huffed" and stamped the light pink butterfly. For a little bling, I added the half back pearls from the pretties kit.

Big Shot Scalloped Envelope

A few weeks ago I got a bunch of new goodies from Stampin' Up! I love opening the box and seeing all the new stuff, the problem is you can't use everything on one project. So this is the first chance I've had to play with the Big shot scalloped envelop die. There are so many things I want to make with it (like the cool box I've seen so many other people make). But the simplest was to use it on this card. I love the way the butterflies look like they are flying out of the envelope!. I used the Great Friend stamp set again. It's beautiful!

Top Note Butterflies

Another great friend card. . .look for more info about all the great friend cards you've seen over the last few weeks coming next week.

Great Friend with French Script

There are some retired stamps that I just can't get rid of, the French Script background stamp is one of them. I love how this card turned out. I was inspired by a swap card I had received at Training Day back in January.

On whisper white cardstock randomly stamp the butterfly and the leaf stamp, then stamp the words over top. I think it give a romantic feel. Add a little ribbon, and frame to make the sentiment stand out and you have a beautiful card!

great friend-occasions sneek peek

I received a box of goodies last week! It was full of stamp sets from the Occasions mini that will be available April 1st. I also got more SAB stamp sets. I didn't have Yummy or Congratulations so I was excited to get those and play with them. (I'll be posting samples later).

This card uses the new stamp set Great Friend. I had a lot of fun playing with it. The color combo came from splitcoast stampers color challenges. I went back to some of the early challenges that don't include the in colors. I realized I've been neglecting some colors. This is so saffron, mellow moss and bravo burgundy. the ribbon is from the SAB ribbon bundle.
