Butterfly Friendship

Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Wednesday !!!

Just a quick post today using two sets that I love- The butterfly is from Simple Friendship.

I stamped the image first in Pink Pirouette and using the Rock and Roll technique (i think that's what they call it) in Riding Hood Red. I am not into distressing although I do try. I did some piercing around the background after I did the embossing. I know it's hard to tell in the picture. Hope you like it.

Stylish Bouquet

Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Saturday !!!

So much things to do, so little time. I have been up since 0500 cleaning my stamp room...again!!! My scraps of paper is getting out of hand and just organizing the colors to put into their respective folders seems to take forever. I manage to take a little break and did this card. I did a similar layout and design for the Great Girls Swap only this is a step up.

I did it using the Elements of Style and the Boho Blossoms punch for the flowers. I love the framed round sentiment that is popped with dimensionals.
