Black and White Butterfly

my Cuttlebug is getting a workout this weekend..:).. thus time I used border and butterfly dies from Heartfelt Creations and for the inside of my frame I used a Spellbinders die... I got the idea for this card on the Heartfelt Creations site but put my own twist to it.....so it is not a copy of the original
Hope you like it..:)

Just for you..

Well here is another card I made using my Cheery Lynn flower and window stacker dies... the scalloped border is an EK success Punch and the papers are Nitwit , the stamp was specially made for a stamp club I am in for Christmas 1 year... hope ya like it..

Cheery Lynn Design Dies...

Well after seeing a video showing how to use the new Cheery Lynn Design flower dies I just had to buy some and try... so my flower, leaf and window stacker dies arrived on Thursday..
this is the first card I have made using the dies...the red and green flowers were made using them, the die cut with the sentiment was made using a Spellbinders die and the little flowers were made using a EK success Punch , the stamped sentiment is from Inky Antics .. I used various papers, card and embellishments from my stash , The red flowers were made using crepe paper...
I hope you like it

Just playing around..

I was playing around with some Tim Holtz distress inks, a flower punch, spellbinder dies, heartfelt creations die, a cuttlebug embossing folder and came up with this card,, to make the card I punched some flowers out of some card off cuts , I used the off-cuts as a stencil to sponge flowers onto a piece of cardstock which I then used an embossing folder on, then sponged on some distress ink..I layered this onto some green cardstock and added some ribbon to the bottom, using d/s stick foam I added this to my card, I then added a butterfly to one corner. I used the same distress inks I sponged the flowers on the background on the flower die cuts and adhered them to my card with glue dots, then added adhesive pearls to the flower , I then added the sentiment..hope ya like it..I am entering this card into..
