Beautiful Butterflies

 Sympathy cards always seem to be needed at all my events, so many sad times and I hope the cards I make bring some comfort to those who have lost Loved ones....I used Elements of Text for a Smoky Slate background and then stamped the Butterfly in Pretty in Pink.  I stamped off to lighten the shade of pink.  The card base is Moody Mauve a Retiring In Color!



Here is a close up of the Arched Focal image.   A simple sentiment from the Keeping Tabs Bundle is popped up over the Arch.


On this Card I stamped the Butterflies in Black directly to a Moody Mauve Circle.  The Background is a stamp purchased at a Yard sale!  The Vellum Leaves are from a Paper Pumpkin kit.  


The Vellum softens the Vintage looking background on Smoky Slate card stock.  Moody Mauve card base.  Check out the Last Chance tab in my Online store for Sale Prices on Retiring In Color items!!


These Sympathy cards and MORE will be on the racks this Saturday at the Independence Uptown Market!  9-1pm  April 5th.

A similar paper Pattern on the Granny Apple Green card base. Circle Dies make a nice Focal point to stamp on.  This Sentiment is from the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle.  More coming with this Bundle tomorrow.

Terrific Toadstools are in the NEW Annual Catalog!!

 

Great news The Mushrooms/Toadstools are carrying over from the Mini catalog!  I would have kept making these cards no matter,,,,,but now you can purchase and make your OWN cards!!  I love this set and Mushrooms are a THING again!  They were big when I was growing up in Bell Bottom Pants and Halter tops!  Everything does come back!  I tried some new Backgrounds and Colors for these cards.  Grab them at the Independence Uptown Market this Saturday 9am-1pm.  Come get your Easter Treats, Cards and MORE.......


I used some Calypso Coral for this Mushroom on a Sunflower Background.



This Retired paper screams Spring....so a Fresh Freesia Mushroom was needed for this card.


And finally Melon Mambo and Fresh Freesia with a Lemon Lime Twist Arch.  So Bright and Beautiful for a Birthday!
