Yes, I am Thankful.

Here is an unusual colour combo, and it just WORKS! I am breaking out of my safe mode and starting to play with new combinations of colour. I love a clean and simple card, without too much distraction for the eye. Plus, this card reminds me to count my blessings (of which I have many).
The sloping letters are balanced by the little flutterby heading across the page. Easy Peasy with the thinlits dies. Just remember to add a piece of greaseproof paper before you run it through the bigshot, and voila! it pops out of the die easily.

Gorgeous Grungy Butterflies. You bet!

Gorgeous Grunge meets butterfly and goes wild with this card design. I decided to bust out the Itty Bitty punch and add some melon mambo blooms a-sparkle with diamonds. Add a sequin or 3 and  you have one crazy cool card. Let me know what you think.

Peace Card - Stampin' Up!

Although it's still a little early to be making Christmas cards, I wanted to use the "Peace on Earth" sentiment from the Greetings of the Season - Stampin' Up! stamp set in the Holiday Catalog.

As a meditation teacher, I often use peace as a theme with my students, and it's a sentiment that can be used all year round, not just at Christmas.

This card also features the - Stampin' Up!Elegant Butterfly Punch. It co-ordinates perfectly with the - Stampin' Up! Papillon Potpourri stamp set, which I hand coloured with Elegant Eggplant and So Saffron markers, then added a few dots of Dazzling Details and attached it with a Glue Dot.
 I stamped the card with the - Stampin' Up! Mixed Bunch stamp set in Raspberry Ripple, and hand coloured around the centres in So Saffron. The  smaller flowers are stamped in Elegant Eggplant ink. I stamped an extra flower in Raspberry Ripple, then punched it out using the Stampin' Up!  Blossom Punch, and added some Elegant Eggplant lines with the dual tipped marker, curved the petals with my Bone Folder, and popped it up with a dimensional.
I hope you enjoy this card.
