Hello Friends,

Thank you for stopping by today to check out my new project! I used a new stamp called "Swallowtail"  this stamp was in the Occasions Mini Catalog and is NOW available in the Big Catalog item#129210 for $13.95, OMG! I can't believe it took me this long to get it, I absolutely LOVE LOVE it!!!

                                                             
I hope you like this card and that lovely butterfly stamp!!  Don't forget to check out the Stampin' Up! catalog on my right sidebar.

Challenges:

Dynamic Duos

I used the blender pens to color the butterfly in Calypso Coral. 

I also added the tiny flower from the Itty Bitty Shape Punches item#118309.  The sentiment is from the Six-Sided Sampler Stamp Set item# 132724. I must say the butterfly is pretty big but I LOVE it and can't wait to use it some more. What do you guys think and do you like it??

I stamped the butterfly with Momento Black Ink on the Whisper White CS and stamped it again on a separate piece of Whisper White CS so, I could color and cut it out and adhere it on top 

of the first stamped image to give it a 3D dimension.  I also 

used the spellbinders for the base and the Stampin' Up! 

Top Note Die for the Calypso Coral layer.

Hello Friends,

Super cute APPLE right?? I saw a tutorial at SpiltCoast Stampers and I just had to make one for my son's teacher.  

The apple was created using the HEART PUNCH and the bird builder Punch for the leaf and stem.

I used the Top Note Die for the base, I then sponged Pink Pirouette from a negative Labels Framelits to create the shading behind the flower. The flower and the sentiment are two different stamps retiring along with the Concord Crush and Pear Pizzazz.
