Birthdays and Butterflies FMS

 What a fun sketch to start your card with this week at Freshly Made Sketches. So many possibilities for this, but I settled for the Six-Sided Sampler, a great hexagon shape with different patterns on each one. There are so many ways to use this versatile stamp, but I've put together a vision in shades of purple for a workmate's birthday.

The card colours are Blackberry Bliss, Wisteria Wonder and Whisper White  while the ink colours are (from the bottom) Blackberry Bliss, Rich Razzleberry and Perfect Plum.




I punched the same shades with the Hexagon Punch, and very easily trimmed the white border left around the stamped image, to show a border of the plain card. They're raised on Dimensionals and some gold thread is held behind the hexagon too.
 Because that wasn't near enough gold, there is a strip of sequins and a punched butterfly too, beside the small sentiment from And Many More.



Cheers,
Rachel

Pink and Pretty DD#61


 It's surprising how difficult I found this challenge to use Pink Pirouette and Sahara Sand, do you ever find that?
I've had a couple of attempts to make something through the week, but it was only last night when I couldn't sleep, that this idea came to me. Hasn't it turned out so soft and subtle? Almost suitable for a sweet baby girl, but I went with birthday, 'cos you can never have too many birthday cards.

I went all-out for Mosaic Madness: stamps, embossing folder and punch. Add Label Love and the matching Artisan Label punch. You have to love stamp sets with matching punches, it just makes the job of creating so..o..o..o... easy.


The label was inked with Stampin' Write markers in Sahara Sand and Pink Pirouette. I'm getting lots of use from this stamp.A Bitty Butterfly added the finishing touch to the label along with flowers punched with one of the Itty Bitty Shapes punches with lots of pearls to finish everything off nicely. I'm quite happy with how this pretty card ended up. The colour inspiration was courtesy of Dynamic Duos challenge.


I'm looking forward to my Pick and Mix Class at home here tomorrow night, still places available at the table and a chance to try some new stamp sets, punches and the Big Shot Magnetic Platform if you like. Give me a call 0417 500 681 if you'd like to join me at 7pm Friday night in South Morang (north of Melbourne).
Enjoy your weekend
