Time Enough

The butterfly.............

.....has time enough!

I was inspired by the Tattered Angels butterfly frame to create this card along with the Artistic Outpost Happiness stamps.

The frame was first sprayed with Dreamsicle Glimmer Mist. Then I rubbed Memento Rich Cocoa ink over it to add color to the embossed areas.

The background was created by stamping the Happiness scrolly butterfly multiple times using Adirondack Stonewashed ink (I have the original pad which didn't have a name). I started with off-white paper.

I stamped one layer of butterflies without overlapping them.

Then I stamped them again filling in the open space by over stamping.

I rubbed Distress Broken China over the entire paper working on a Ranger craft mat.

The girl is stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa on white paper.

I colored her with Copic markers: B00, E00, E37, R20 YR07

The verse is stamped in Rich Cocoa also. I embossed it with clear. I added a sheer coppery brown ribbon, a brown mat to frame the background and mounted it on a light peach card. The card is Bazzill but I don't know the color name.

Such a fun color combination!

Enjoy!

Snowbound...

Good Morning!

I have been so busy getting ready for Christmas that I haven't had much opportunity to create anything to post. My creating has gone into baking & wrapping gifts...

The weather helped me out a bit this weekend.

We were supposed to go to my daughter's house for the weekend so we could see our grandson's church program. Instead, we were snowed in ....and still are. Snow & winds and bitter cold. Makes me wonder why I live in Minnesota!

This photo is a view out my kitchen door towards the east(right through the glass, way too cold to go outside!). The trees in the distance are about 1/2 mile away. The blowing snow wasn't quite at it's worst at that moment.

Tonight, I put together some cards for my employees. Yeah! I got to stamp & create.

I stamped the Thomas Kinkade Village Christmas with ADirondack Raisin on a cream card. I stamped "Merry Christmas" & embossed it with clear. I cut a dark red rectangle to fit the card front & embossed it with a Cuttlebug Swiss Dot folder. I then cut an oval out of the center. I cut a slightly smaller oval out of gold paper. I glued the gold oval under the red one, then attached it over the stamped image on the card front. I punched out some tiny branches out of the same gold paper & glued them along the oval opening. I added a burgundy bow and a verse inside.......done.

I can check that off my list....

Keep creating........
