Think Spring
When I think of spring, I think of flowers and butterflies!! Something I have been dreaming of a lot lately!!
Here's my creation:
A close-up:
These stamps are perfect to do a little paper piecing with as well!! I used some of my pastels to add a little more color to the paper.
A close-up:
I used "Double Iris" (#7040H), a butterfly from "Butterfly Bookmark" (#3008g) and "Birthday Script" (915D) for this card.
I used Shades Dye Ink "Pansy Purple" to stamp with the "Birthday Script". After stamping I used Creative Inspiration Paint "Light Purple" to add some shimmer to the sentiment.
I really like using the CI Paints to alter white ribbon to match my card. I had some white lace type ribbon that I wanted to make match my card better, so I used "Burgundy" to alter the ribbon.
Before:
In the process:
(Note: I used "Light Purple" on this sample)
Finished sample using "Burgundy" along with the original white:
Lastly, here is the cute little butterfly I added. I made it complete by adding some CI Paint "Fairy Dust" to give it some shimmer. Fairy Dust is my favorite paint to use!
