Only one challenge this weekend

Following the theme from last weekend's challenges, I used the "Watercolour Wings" stamp set from the Stampin Up 2015-16 Annual Catalogue. 

The challenge this weekend came from SU-per-challenges: Colour Challenge #101

This time I made a box using the Bakers Box Thinlits. The butterflies were stamped and cut out using the Butterfly Thinlits and then attached to the box. The box background was made with Versamark. The large butterfly tag was cut out using the Bold Butterfly Thinlits. 

Check out the great examples the designers have put together on the site to help with inspiration.

Challenges for this Weekend - Card 2

This next card used 3 challenges, and set the theme for my stamp set for the weekend:

Mojo Monday - sketch challenge #411

Fab Friday - Colour challenge #71

Seize the Birthday - Anything that Flies theme 

This weekend I am using the "Watercolour Wings" stamp set from the Stampin Up 2015-16 Annual Catalogue. This stamp set matches with the Bold Butterfly framelits to make it easier to cut out the big butterfly. The butterfly is stamped in 3 layers: first - Delightful Dijon (stamped off first), second - Delightful Dijon (Full colour), third - Tangelo Twist (Full colour).

The smaller butterflies are from "Butterfly Basics" and cut out with the "Bitty Butterfly" punch. The Old Olive card is embossed with the "Elegant Dots" embossing folder. The background uses the 3 dot stamp from "Watercolour Wings", stamped in each colour of the challenge (stamped off first to lighten the colour). The diagonal stripes are from "Butterfly Basics", stamped in Blackberry Bliss and Old Olive, once again stamped off first to lighten the colour.

A little bling was added to the card, with Dazzling Details used on the large butterfly and both smaller butterfly have 2 Rhinestones down the middle.

Check out the sites from these challenges and be inspired.

Challenge card 3 for a relaxing Sunday Stamping

The final card for the weekend used a colour challenge from a site I regularly visit and a new site for the theme challenge.

CAS Colours and Sketches - Colour challenge #136

Stamping Sensations - August Challenge Anything Goes with a stamp and a die

The "Floral Wings" hostess only stamp set from the Stampin Up 2015-16 Annual Catalogue, uses the large butterfly die from the "Bold Butterfly" framelits set.

This simple card uses "Shimmery White" for the base, the square and to stamp the butterfly on. This gives a bit of elegance and sparkle to a special occasion card. A little extra bling has been added to the card with a run of jewels down the centre of the butterfly and echoed at the bottom of the card.
