I have two thank you cards to share that went off to friends. The first one uses an embossing plate that usually too fussy for me, but it seemed an appropriate background for the three butterflies. Because it’s white on white, it still satisfies my CAS sensibilities.
The embossing folder is an old Cuttlebug one that I just gifted to a friend in my latest purge. The butterfly die is Papertrey Ink, and the sentiment is from Penny Black’s “Salutations.” I’m linking this card to the current Addicted to CAS challenge: Butterfly.
Quite some time ago, Jacky emailed me to say she thought the Clearly Besotted stamps were ones that I would like. Now that Simon Says carries them, I’ve added a couple sets to my collection. Jacky was correct, I love the Clearly Besotted stamps and am particularly taken with these simple tulips.
I embossed them in white onto Tim Holtz’s watercolor paper and then watercolored them and added the sentiment from the same set, “Friends Forever.” I die cut the piece with Simon Says “Stitched Rectangle,” an mounted it on a Raspberry Fizz (PTI) card.
This card’s off to be entered in the Simon Says Monday Challenge: For the Love of Plants.
I knew you’d love them!! The tulip card is beautiful.
Lovely! I especially like the white on white
I LOVE this embossing folder, Karen! Your lucky friend! It’s perfect with the softly colored butterflies! Love those tulips too! Thanks for sharing with us at ATCAS!
I like that white on white embossed look – was thinking yesterday I need to pull my machine out and start to use my plates and dies again.
Love these both, but the white on white is SO elegant! Thank you so much for joining us in the For the Love of Plants challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog this week 🙂
That embossing is so gorgeous and really sets off the butterflies. Don’t know if it is the same card, but I received one from you just like the tulip card after our visit in March. I peeled the white part off the cardstock and glued it in a place of honor – the inside front cover of my One Little Word mothly notebook!
The white-on-white is indeed lovely – and how crisp it looks … The delicacy of your colouring is lovely against it.
