CAS258 Tags or Tabs

Hello!  I had a chance to play after work today with the CAS challenge over on SCS (splitcoaststampers).  Today's challenge was to use a tag or tab on our cards.  I LOVE using tags on my cards and have a pile of tags that I have die cut using my cameo just begging to be used! This also fits Friday's free for all challenge on SCS which was to use the word love (mine says loved, but I think it will qualify!)  I went extremely CAS today using lots of white space with a couple pops of color.  I stamped the butterfly from inkadinkado onto marshmallow cardstock using archival ink, then used gelato's to color it in.  I cut it out and then added some shimmer using my wink of stella pen in clear over the entire butterfly.  I added a second butterfly that I had punched out of silver pow glitter paper and popped a black sequin in the middle.  The sentiment is from Februrary's card kit by Simon Says Stamp and is called thinking of you.  I embossed that using silver embossing powder.  I also added some fun washi tape.  The skinny silver and white striped washi tape is from Little B and came in another card kit from SSS and the black and white washi tape is from my stash.  I also added 3 score lines above the bottom little strip of washi tape but I don't think my camera picked it up!  I love how crisp this looks in real life.  I wish my photography skills were better!

I checked out the challenge before I went to work this morning and couldn't wait to come home and play!  Thanks for stopping by!

Gelato Butterfly

How is it Thursday already??  This week is flying by!  I made a quick little card before work this morning, but didn't get a chance to post it.  I can't stop coloring butterflies right now.  I have recently bought lots of new markers, watercolor pencils, gelatos and other new to me mediums.  I have just been playing around to see what I can do with them and still stay with my preferred style which is clean and simple!

Anyway my card today was colored using some gelatos.  I had stamped a bunch of butterflies with black ink onto white cardstock.  I quickly colored the butterfly, not paying any attention to staying inside the lines as I knew I was going to cut it out.  The gelatos blend SO easily and are not messy at all.  I just blended it using my fingers and then cut it out, added some pearls and popped it up on my card.  VOILA!  another quick, clean and simple card!  I know exactly who this one is going to!  Anyhoo, just wanted to share!  Have a great evening!

Playing along with the Featured Stamper on SCS

Happy Easter everyone!  I decided to play along with today's Featured Stamper on Splitcoaststampers today.  This is what I came up with.  I embossed my yellow cs with the wonderful embossing folder by SU.  One of my new faves!!  I colored another stamped butterfly by Inkadinkado with my spectrum noir pens and then added a squirt or two of goosebumps to add some texture and gloss!  There is a tiny strip of washi tape by MME along the bottom of the white panel and then I hand cut some little banners and tucked them under the main panel.  I love how bright and cheery this card turned out!  I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday!!

Blue Butterfly

I had some time to play before work this morning, so I played with this fun little butterfly stamp that I forgot I had.  I stamped the image in black memento ink and then colored it in with some spectrum noir pens.  Next I cut it out and sprayed it with some goosebumps spray to give it some shimmer.  The photo doesn't really pick it up, sorry.  I embossed the front of my card using a new embossing folder that I picked up recently, then popped my little butterfly up!  I leave a lot of my cards blank when I first make them, and then just add a sentiment when I have a need for it. 

Another quick and simple card, but I think with the texture of the embossing and the shimmer of the popped up butterfly, it is all it needs today.  Sometimes less is more!  I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter weekend.
