I used the same Serendipity stamp in the fall to make a card for the fall challenge. I, obviously, thought it could also work for the spring challenge. I used versamark to stamp my verse, and heat embossed with Very fine black distress ink. I also used two spellbinder dies...Marvelous Squares, and Scalloped Borders Two. My designer paper is from Graphic 45, and I added dimensionals to pop up my sentiment and and I added a ribbon.
I wish I also would have added glossy accents on the butterfly so I might do that before I sent the card. The Serendipity Design team (who makes fabulous cards for inspiration) always adds an extra touch to their cards each month. The extra for their last cards was adding glossy accents somewhere on their cards. I really like using glossy accents (Or stickles on cards) but I almost always manage to forget that it's still wet, and somehow smudge it. I'm also going to add a little bit of copics to my butterfly (aqua tinge on the wing tips...because I don't think my ribbon matches the butterfly as much as I would like it to. Do you get the feeling that I am a perfectionist? Well, I try to be anyway, but my cards rarely turn out to be perfect.
Okay, I am rambling...sorry...
Hope everyone is having a great week
Blessings,
Jill

ReplyDeleteJill your card is beautiful! I love that sentiment because it can be used for so many occasions! Love the brown behind the die and your little blue butterfly. My daughter and I just went to see the new Cinderella movie and it reminds me of the butterflies that become part of her dress!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card. I love all your die cuts.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful card, Jill!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. Love the colors and the pretty die cuts. Nice sentiment also.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful design!! It's cold here today and this really warms things up!! :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi Jill. Thank you for all your lovely comments about my cards especially the iris-folded ones. I used to do quite a bit of it in my early card-making days, before I had my blog, but don't do it so much now. But I have got a baptism card to make soon. Perhaps I'll get my IF dove pattern out again! I still enjoy it, especially making my own patterns and showing others how to do it. They are always so thrilled when they turn over and discover what they've made! I don't get much time to blog hop as I work full time and much of my spare time is taken up with Girlguiding. That's why I applied for the DT post with CC&S to forcibly give myself time to craft! Thank you for taking the time to stop by my blog and I wish you all the best with your crafting. Stef x
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous, Jill. I love the border and the pretty colors.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty card and a very true sentiment, the die cuts and the papers are so crisp and clean.
ReplyDeleteLove and hugs

Your card is beautiful! Thank you for sharing and inspiring. Also, thank you for your lovely comments on my posting; very much appreciate! Happy Spring! Best wishes always!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely and I would not change one single thing. Don't you just love that S/B border die? So pretty & works so well with the square used for that wonderful sentiment. I also liked the combo of the stripes at the bottom with the polka dot dp on the top. A very pretty, & spring like card. TFS &Happy wkend.
