You've Got This 2 Ways

I have a card for you today that has 2 different backgrounds ... all with my wonderful Brusho.  It's interesting how a color change can change the look of a card using the same design.

The first card has beautiful blues and greens mixed together.

The second card has beautiful blues and purples.  I think I like the first one the best, but I really like both.  It is so much fun to play with Brusho for the backgrounds because, to a great extent, it's always a wonderful surprise to see the end result.

A Pretty Fall Butterfly

You've probably noticed many blog posts back just how much I love nature type cards ... leaves, trees, birds, butterflies, dragonflies ... and you're so right.  They speak to me.  Today, I'm sharing a card I made that was inspired by a previous card I made.  I just changed my color story.

Well, this is my last Fall card to share with you (for 2016).  Next up, I have 3 Fall layouts to share ... and then it's on to Christmas.  Isn't this fun?!!!

Here's my previous card that was my inspiration for this one.

2 Fall Leaf Cards

I have 2 more Fall cards for you today, using leaves in various and pretty ways.  My plan here is to go through to the end of November with my remaining Fall cards and projects and then start right out in December with all Christmas.  I think that's a good plan.

My first card has an embossed background and an embossed leaf.  This embossing folder is one of our 6X6" folders and it is extra thick.  The embossed result is just gorgeous.  I hope we see more folders like this one in the future:)

I sponged extra color onto the embossed leaf.

My second card has embossed leaves stamped directly onto the DSP, as well as an embossed leaf --- cut and attached to be the focal piece for my card.

I sponged extra color onto this leaf, as well.  Did you notice that I have a double row of ribbon?  I love it!

So there you have it ... 2 more Fall card ideas.

Cherry Cobbler You've Got This

How about a card today in one of my most favorite colors --- cherry cobbler?  This one was pretty quick and easy to create and I love how it turned out.  

I added layers of Cherry Cobbler and Basic Black behind the DSP layer on the card front and then rounded the corner of each.  It adds a nice little detail in a super simple way. 

The flower is painted with ink and my Aqua Painter and then cut out and attached with dimensionals.

The inside of the card and the envelope are stamped to coordinate with it all.

Melon Mambo and Taupe Card

How about another card with our You've Got This stamp set?  This one is a Melon Mambo/Taupe combo.  It is dressed up with our Metallic Rimmed Pearls.

I've cut the top layers smaller, so that more of the card base shows, creating a nice frame for the project.  The flower is stamped and embossed onto the white layer and then another blossom is cut and attached (with dimensionals) over the first layer.

I've cut the melon mambo layer to just barely show between the taupe layers.  All 3 of the top layers are attached together and then attached to the card base with dimensionals.

The coloring was done with my Aqua Painter and inks.  The envelope is stamped with a Melon Mambo flower to coordinate.

For the Love of Monarch Butterflies

Who doesn't love seeing a beautiful butterfly, especially Monarchs?  They are just gorgeous.  I have a couple of Monarchs for you today.  It was easy to choose my color story, as it's based on the color of the beautiful Monarchs.  

I actually used several stamp sets for this card --- You've Got This, Birthday Blossoms, and Watercolor Wings.  It all comes together for a really pretty card.  Our Thinlits and Framelits make for quick and easy cutting of the butterflies.  I love how the 2 die sets coordinate. 

Here's a bit of a close-up of the butterflies.

Here's a sneak peek at the coordinating inside of the card. 

As with my previous butterfly projects, I've only attached the butterflies in the middle, so their wings are more dimensional.

Have you stamped lately?  You'd better get going and create something beautiful today.

I've Got the Butterfly Blues

... playing with blues, that is.  Take some Lost Lagoon and Island Indigo and pair them with Mint Macaron and you get an interesting combo.  Just don't forget to add a little bling.
