Butterfly Kisses - Friends Card

This was a very easy card to make.
I used the Spiral Bouquet and Butterfly Kisses stamps by Papertrey Ink.
The white base card was stamped with a multicoloured ink pad (Aurora by Brilliance) the stamped the block butterfly in the pink shade of the same ink and stamped the patterned butterfly onto parchment paper then embossed through the back of the parchment, I cut this out and adhered it at the body of the butterfly and turned up the wings to add dimension.
I used the Nestabilities Ribbon Tag dies and stamped Friends on top then edged the tag with the same pink ink.
I finished the card by tying the Ripe Avocado ribbon through the tag and around the card.

Sympathy Card - Life is a Journey

I love that sentiment and it is so true, It is part of the Birds of a Feather stamp set.
I think the tree stamp by Art-Kure lends itself very nicely to the wording.
I used a brayer and a multi coloured ink for the background and stamped the tree in Versafine black onyx ink layered it all up with matching card stock and tied a ribbon and knotted is around the centre of the card, I found a little bird punch in my craft stash and punched the bird out of some black card stock.
Oops nearly forgot I used the cuttlebug to emboss the burnt orange card.

Floral Stamped 3d - Decoupage

I used the Floral Frenzy stamp set by Papertrey Ink and stamped the stalks and colour with the small flower then added the outline to the base of the card.
I then cut the labels Nestabilities and stamped the large flower and stalk onto the top white Label shape and stamped out a 2nd flower which I cut out, shaped and added on top of the other I added clear seed beads to the flower center and stamped the sentiments on the same label.
I then outlined the white label shape with the ink pad used for the colour of the flower.
Layered it all up and added a ribbon to finish.
