Inspired by
this card by Wendy Janson, I made a thank you card for a friend of mine. I used exactly the same sketch, colours and punch but changed the stamps, ribbon, greeting and added bling instead of stickles. I coloured the butterfly with Really Rust and Barely Banana adding shimmer paint to give the butterfly some shine. I stamped him twice but cut one out after I coloured him and moulded the wings with graduating foam squares to 3d him. Trés Chic is the background I used, positioning it using the stamp-a-ma-jig so the two stampings came out even. The ribbon is gorgeous and is out of the Valet set of ribbons. Along the punched line, I've added little bling but it's not showing up very well in the photo.
Yesterday I worked on my recipe book using a Kaisercraft journal and Tea at Elsie's papers which was a class I took while I was at the Brisbane Papercraft Expo. I've also started another one for my cousin who loves to cook and travel using the Pack Your Bags papers.
So hopefully I should finish at least one of them today.
Thanks once again for visiting.
