Sending You Strength

 Happy Saturday! Today I am linking a card over on the Freshly Made Sketches blog challenge. I really liked the layout. I had already put this paper aside to use for a card for my cousin and felt it worked perfectly with the sketch. She just was diagnosed with uterine cancer and wanted to send some love and encouragement her way.

I chose the MFT Brilliant Butterflies Stamp and Dies stamped in AltenewPink Diamond & Frayed Leaf. I used StazOn Jet black ink for the extra wings and the sentiment. The sentiment is from MFTS's Deepest Sympathy and cut it with one of the smaller labels from SU's Stitched Nested Labels Dies.

That will be all for today. I'm going to do some more sorting and purging. There seems to never be an end to that chore! I hope you have a restful weekend.

Blessings, Bernadette

Happy Birthday to You

 I'm back today with a card that I will post over at CAS Colours & Sketches and Seize the Birthday although I decided not to use the topping. I had gotten into a little bit of a slump again. My decision to put together some Thinking of You friend cards to direct possibly my creativity. Thankfully it did and I was able to get 10 designed, card bases cut and folded, and patterned paper cut to size. I still need to get them completely together, but it felt so good to have that much accomplished.

Probably not something I should post, is I had a real struggle with this color combo and the image I chose for the card. Several other designs and stamps have gone through my head since I completed this, but right now it is what it is. I really have been making an effort to use all the butterflies in this stamp set and the hummingbird set. It seems to me, and perhaps you observe the same thing about you stamping supplies as I do. I love the sets use it once or twice and then it sits lonely on the shelf for perhaps months. 

This will do it for today, but I'll list some of the supplies over in the Labels section.

Have a great day and stay well! 

Blessings,

Bernadette

Sweet Birthday Wishes

 Just on here to post a card to link over at the  Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I finished this up this morning and will be delivering it to my daughter on Friday with her gift. 

I worked again at trying to perfect my stamping one of these beautiful butterflies from MFT's Brilliant Butterflies and used Altenew inks for the bottom layer. I used a sentiment from MFT Bitty Birthday Wishes. The colored papers are from several different companies and the base of the card is Neenah Solar White #100.

That is it for today. I hope you have a blessed day!

Happy Birthday

Hello all! I'm posting a card tonight that I will be linking over at  CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #396 and Seize the Birthday(no topping) 

Last week I received my new stamp set from MFT, Brilliant Butterflies with matching dies. I have waited quite a while to purchase this set. It had been out of stock, but the wait was worth it. I just love it! I still need some practise stamping and die cutting the images, but I am happy with the way this first try turned out.

PRODUCTS USED:

MFT Brilliant Butterfly

Gina K Stippled Flowers for the sentiment, Sweet Corn Ink Spot. (I decided to use the Sweet Corn because the Bumblebee ink was too dark)

SU Papers: Just Jade, Bumblebee, Misty Moonlight, Neenah Solar White #110, Neenah Solar White 80lb.

That is it from me this evening

Stay Well and Stay Safe! 

Blessings,

Bernadette
