Dill And Butterflies

Happy Thursday Everyone!

This week is terribly hot. I wish, it was raining. But no forecasts for showers or thunderstorms. Tomorrow I'm heading to a countryside, I hope it will be a bit more refreshing than in the city.

Today I'd like to share two cards. The first one I'm linking to CASology #106. The cue word this week is:



My card is just one-layer inspired by Jen. I like how juicy it came out



To add some dimension I stamped the spray first in London Fog, and then heat embossed it in white with some slight repositioning.
I'll also link it up to Less is More challenge, because it's Anything Goes! this week.


The second card is inspired by Freshly Made Sketches #147


Here is my take on the sketch:



This week I received my last order with gorgeous My Mind's Eye paper and SimonSaysStamp Butterflies. I knew immediately when I've seen the sketch, that I would use both goodies. The card is rather quick and easy to make, there is only one trick about the Hello script. I had to underline the red script with the black one.



I'll add up this card to SimonSaysStamp Wednesday Challenge, because it is also Anything Goes! this week.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a nice day!

  3. Both of your cards are gorgeous! So pleased I inspired you with the first one and I have to say I like yours better than mine! LOL! I love the slight shadow you created with your stamping - it really makes the flower pop.
    I love your use of the patterned paper on your second card and the coloured embossing powder.
