En Francais Butterfies

This card is an all out case of a design on AndreaWalford's blog.  Her card immediately caught my eye and I wanted to reproduce it.

And any card that uses the Beautiful Wings Embosslits die is worth a second look.

The En Francais background stamp is stamped using the Craft stamping pad for lovely subtlety.

Stamps:  En Francais

Card:  Peach Parfait, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake

Ink:  Whisper White Craft Ink

Tools:  Big Shot (have you got one of these yet?), Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die

Accessories:  Basic Rhinestones



Just Add Ink Challenge 102

If you are stuck for ideas for creating cards, there are plenty of challenge blogs on the net.  It's fun to try a challenge once in awhile to take you outside your comfort zone!  One site I like to visit is Just Add Ink.  This year, I hope to enter a few more of their challenges!  (I entered only one last year!)

This week's challenge is Just Add Kathy Tanner.  Challenge participants visit Kathy's blog, choose a card and CASE it.  This is the card created by Kathy that I chose.

I loved the one little brad in the corner and the tiny tags on the bow.  The red butterfly in the centre also caught my eye.  Here is my version.

Kathy used some Smooch Spritz on the swirly underneath panel.  I used Shimmer Paint Spray.  You can juuuust see it in the picture below....or maybe not.
