Clean and Simple Butterflies & An Award!



Hi Everyone,

Today I have a clean and simple style card to share with you, it's an RSVP card I made to respond to a wedding invitation.


I cut various sizes of hearts using a Nellie Snellen die set and coloured them with peacock feathers distress ink.  I used the water stamping technique to stamp the butterfly onto the hearts and then over stamped with the peacock feathers ink.

I cut a square panel and wrapped some green organza ribbon around it, then stuck the hearts on in a random arrangement.  I mounted this panel to a 6x6 scalloped card blank using foam pads.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
  • Less Is More - Week 117 - Sketch.  Click HERE for all the challenge details
  • Country View Crafts Challenge Blog - Butterflies.  Click HERE for details of the challenge
  • Technique Time Tuesday - Water Stamping.  All the challenge details can be found HERE

    Lovely to see a CAS card using the waterstamping technique, and so beautifully done too. The organza ribbon is such a pretty touch. Thanks for playing along with us at Technique Time Tuesday

    Firstly Claire, I love those hearts you've made - gorgeous! It works so well to have the different sizes too. Clean, crisp and beautiful.
    Thank you so much for suggesting my name for the Leibster blog award, it's really kind of you. To be honest, before I was in hospital in February, two other ladies did the same for me and I haven't done anything about it yet - thanks for reminding me!! If you would prefer to let someone else benefit, I completely understand but just let me know. I've got a post due to go out tomorrow and I'll put it at the bottom of that. You can always email me as there is a link to do so on my blog and I don't mind at all!
    Hugs, Juliaxx
