Beautiful Butterfly

Hello, hope you're enjoying your day!

I have a lovely card to share with you this afternoon!
Right out of the garden...

Stamps: butterfly from The Cottage Market,

sentiment: Little Yellow Bicycle

Paper: SU! cs, MME dp

Ink: SU! stamp pad

Other: Zva Creative pearls, vintage seambinding,

Nesties, sparkly flower from stash, emb tool.

A few months back, Andrea shared a lovely sheet of butterflies to download.  After I fussy cut this little flutter, I ran my (large) metal ball embossing tool around the backside of it to 'bowl' out the wings a bit...adds a little dimension so it doesn't just look like flat paper.

Today @ Digital Tuesday, we are looking for your butterfly projects!  Create whatever you like, just make sure to add a digital element!  

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Blessings!

Super Cool Shirt Dad!

Happy Tuesday!

Can you believe Father's Day is this weekend?
Gosh, the year is half over, tempus fugit!

Here's a simple masculine design.

Stamps: Joy's Life clear stamps,

SU! background stamp

Paper: SU! vanilla cs, 

Echo Park (times & seasons)

Ink: SU! classic (not quite navy)

Other: mini buttons

I followed a simple origami fold for the shirt, added a collar.  

I created the specific sentiment by inking just the words I 

needed from Joy's Life stamp sets, 

Sweet Popsicle Puns and Wild Life Puns!

"You're" is from the sentiment You're a Great Catch,
(Wild Life Puns)
"super cool" is a partial sentiment from That was super cool 
of you. (Sweet Popsicle Puns)

A great way to create the perfect statement!!

Wishing you a super cool day!
Blessings!
