CTS86 - Happy Birthday


The other day, I went a little crazy (who me?) with my new butterfly stamp set and dies from Papertrey Ink. I made a number of cards, casing in different ways my favourite card that Nichole made when they released them.This one ended up as my CAS(E) This Sketch entry.




I cut the bigger butterfly outline in white and sponged it with various distress inks. I then layered it over the black solid butterfly. I added some score lines to the left size and added a Clearly Besotted sentiment. I love the drama of the black against the bright colours.

Here's some of the other cards I made:

  2. These are all gorgeous, Ardyth. I love how crisp and bright all your cards are. My fave here has to be the blue/green/purple combo, not colours I would usually reach for but it looks great x

  18. You did a beautiful job using these butterfly stamps. I love when people make a bunch of cards using the same stamp set. It gives me ideas on how to use mine!! (though I don't own this set right now-it is on my wish list!!) I love the vibrant distress inks you used with the black on the first card. I like that you used the stamped butterfly on the other cards. So fabulous!!
