Pink Butterfly

Hello Everyone!!  Things have been crazy at the Jones house of late, not only is the Christmas season upon us, but for Australians, this is also the end of the school year - and with 3 kids, this means I run non-stop for a few weeks with little time for cardmaking.  I hope it settles down when school finishes next Friday!!  This is a card I made for the Hope You Can Cling To challenges at SCS that I realised had not made it to my blog.  This one was hosted by Lydia and was to have a Pink Critter on it!!  Now I don't own a lot of 'critter' stamps, so a butterfly it is!!  :)

I've stamped both the flowers and butterfly in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-press It Blending Card and coloured with Copics (YR20, YR21, YR23, YR24, G40, G82, R81, R83, R85).  The flowers were cut out with Large Circle Nestabilities and framed with green cut with MFT's Dainty Doily Die.  The butterfly was cut out and offset.  Simply added some ivory ribbon, a bow and notched tag using a sentiment from JustRite's Just Because set.

Vintage Thank You

Hello Everyone!  Today's card is for a couple of things, the first is Edna's Hope You Can Cling To challenge at Splitcoaststampers, you can find all the details in the HYCCT Forum at SCS!  The second thing is, I got to play with a new JustRite stamp set!!  YAY!!  :)  This is part of their new Fleur de Lis Labels Twenty set and I thought it would be perfect with the Lace Borders to create a vintage styled card.

I've started with blue bazzill and layered with Very Vanilla and Authentique Journey DP.  Next I've added another panel of vanilla topped with some more Journey.  Across these panels I've added a piece of Very Vanilla that I've run through a crimper and topped with some white tissue paper that has been stamped with Lace Borders in Memento Summer Sky and cut out with scissors.  I've then stamped the Fleur de Lis Labels 20 stamp in Summer Sky and cut out with Spellbinders Labels 20 Nestabilities and popped up on foam tape.  The sentiment is from the same set, stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa and made into a notched tag secured by a butterfly, also from the same set stamped in Rich Cocoa and coloured with B21 and RV00.  I've added an identical butterful to the lace border and finished with a few pink pearls in the top corners.

The linky party on this post will remain open thru Nov. 8th. Feel Free to upload your JustRite Christmas Projects anytime during the week. Please make certain your link is directly to your project, not just your general blog home page or overall photo gallery, so we can find it easily.  Our only requirement for joining in the fun is that your Christmas Project or  your card must use JustRite Stamps.  I can't wait to see what all your creative minds come up with!  You may share as many Christmas Projects as you like during the week long party.


That's all from me today, thanks for visiting and hope you play along with the Hope You Can Cling To challenges at Splitcoaststampers!!!

Pink Bling

Hello Everyone!!  Today's card is for two challenges at Splitcoaststampers - Lori's Hope You Can Cling To challenge to Bling Your Cling (and even better if it's PINK!!) and also for this week's Sketch Challenge!

The base is made of pink bazzill, black and Victoria Gardens DP.  The middle strip is black, pink bazzill punched with the Martha Stewart Loop Punch (which....doesn't it look like Pink Ribbons all down the side!!!) and topped with some white satin ribbon.  The ribbon image from JustRite Stampers' Be Strong Clear Stamp set has been stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-press It Blending Card and coloured with Copics (R81, R83, R85) and then cut out.  I've popped it up on foam tape over a piece of black cut with Lacey Circle Nestabilities which is matted with white cut with Labels 1 Nestabilities.  For the BLING part, I've added some Pink Labels 1 Nestabling to my feature panel and a couple of pink rhinestones to the top and bottom corner.
