Swallowtail In Pistachio

Hello & Happy Friday!

Yesterday I took the day off from blogging to wrap up the card order I have been working on.

Here is another pack I made for Audrey. 

She asked for butterflies and she will surely get butterflies with this order!

I made a card similar to this about a month or so ago. I stamped my butterfly in Strawberry Slush and loved the look! Today I stamped my butterfly in Pistachio Pudding and added matching Thick Twine, some small white pearls and my sentiment. My pictures aren't that great. I'm working with some different lights in my light box but i'm thinking I may need a newer camera. I've had this one since 2010. It is a Nikon Coolpix.

I know Audrey is going to love these!

Swallowtail Card Set:

Stamps: Swallowtail, Simply Sketched sentiment

Ink: Pistachio Pudding, Memento Black

Cardstock: Pistachio Pudding, Whisper White

Accessories: Pistachio Pudding Thick Twine, White Pearls, Stamp A Ma Jig, 2 Sided Tape

That's all for me today!

Hubby will soon be home and we have some errands to run. Tomorrow I will be taking the day off from blogging to spend the day with him. Sunday he will be working. 

Thanks for stopping by & have a good weekend!

Free4All Challenge 281

Hello & Happy Friday!!

It was such a beautiful day today! 

After storms blew thru last night, the weather turned fabulous today! Much cooler temps & lower humidity.....just what I needed! It was so nice having the windows open today and the breeze blowing thru! My kind of weather!

So, since my hubby started a new job a few weeks ago, he won't always be working full days on Fridays which will be nice! Today he came home shortly after lunch time and sat in his chair and napped the day away! I snuck off to my stamp room to play a bit. I seen the Free4All Challenge over at SCS was to use a large image or a background stamp! Of course I wanted to play along!!

I seen quite a few people over at SCS were using the Swallowtail butterfly stamp and of course, I used mine too! I have had this stamp for quite awhile and it's never been inked and today was the day!

Free4All Challenge 281 Card:

I inked my butterfly up with Strawberry Slush and stamped off once on scrap paper then stamped my image on my Whisper White cardstock with the lighter more muted color. I love the look of this and can promise you I will be using this stamp more! My sentiment is stamped with Memento Black Ink. I added 4 little rhinestones under the sentiment and added some Strawberry Slush Twine to finish it up!

What do you think??

I really do like it! It will also be pretty mail friendly too!

Free4All Challenge 281 Card:

Stamps: Swallowtail, Million & One
