BUTTERFLY GALA SOUTH PACIFIC BLOG HOP

Today I'm excited to be hopping with the Australian girls from the Artisan Design Team. We are having a South Pacific Blog Hop and are showcasing projects from the Gingham Gala suite. The gorgeous projects my talented friends have created will totally inspire you! There are five light, fresh colours in classic gingham checks in the Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper - Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight, Grapefruit Grove, Highland Heather and Lemon Lime Twist. As I wanted to use all the colours these little 7.6cm x 7.6cm (3" x 3") note cards seemed a great way to do it! The butterflies from the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set have been white embossed onto vellum paper and punched out with the co-ordinating Butterfly Duet Punch. I've layered them onto a square of Shimmery White Cardstock that has been watercoloured with the co-ordinating ink and cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits. I also splattered from Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint and added some wate

Welcome to the Ink It! Stamp It! Blog Hop. This month we are sharing projects from the 2019 Sale-A-Bration and Occasions Catalogues.

These two cards use the Amazing Life Stamp Set - it's such a fun set and full of great sentiments and images! I used Lovely Lipstick and co-ordinated it with paper from the All My Love Designer Series Paper. The strip on this card was created by white embossing the cake images onto Shimmery White Cardstock and water colouring it with Lovely Lipstick Ink. I added Lovely Lipstick Enamel Dots from the Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots pack and some Rhinestones to tie in with the Silver Glimmer Paper strip. The little stitched scallop edge was created
