Flower Soft - Butterfly Tag

This week for the Flower Soft Wire Works challenge I decided to make a quick tag for a gift bag.  I used Ultra Fine Black Flower Soft on the wires to make the antennae for the butterfly.  Be sure to check out the Flower Soft Blog this week to see some of the wire projects the other Design Team members have created.

Heartfelt Creations - Strength and Courage

Happy Wednesday!  I have a new Heartfelt Creations project to show you today using the newest Floral Cross Collection.  This time I made a sympathy card using a technique I found on Splitcoast but you could easily change this to a Baptism, Communion or Easter card by changing the sentiment.

I used Bamboo ink on the inside of my embossing folder and embossed onto white cardstock.  I love the look you get with this technique.  I layered the embossed cross onto the die cut cross which I cut using Bamboo cardstock.  I added the sentiment with Bamboo ink for a soft look.  You can find the complete instructions on the Heartfelt Creations blog, along with some amazing creations from the other Design Team members.

Need another reason to check out the Heartfelt Creations Blog?  Well the search for a new Design Team is underway and if you love their products as much as I do, I strongly encourage you to apply.  This is a great team to be a part of and the stamps and dies are so fun and easy to work with!  You can read all the details HERE.

2 Challenges; 1 Card - Just Because

Today's card employs two of the challenges on Splitcoast this week.  The first is a CAS Sketch Challenge using a beautiful card by Nancy Littrell.  The second is a Technique Lovers Challenge to create a wrinkle free distressed background using ink and some water.  This is the same technique I used in this card I showed you Monday.

I used three different Distress Inks to achieve the background and then stamped the images from Mehndi Medallion using the same inks.  I added a little green pearl to the centers of the medallions.  I love this technique and I can see doing a whole set of these little 4" x 4" note cards.

Thanks for stopping by today!
