Another mini card

I was really pleased with how well this little card turned out.  I used the stamp set Button Buddies - which makes some really easy and simple cards.  The stamps are designed to work with the buttons - so in this case the butttons would normally form the flowers - genius!  HOWEVER..  in this particular instance I decided to use one of the itty bitty punches and a pearl instead!

I coloured the stamp with the marker pens, cut an extra vase out and used dimensionals to pop it up.  A butterfly from the beautiful wings embosslit to finish and voila!

This was a card that I made for one of my recent classes. I've used some of my favourite colours and techniques. I love the combination of pumpkin pie and rose red - there's something about it that just works so well. i used these two colours, along with some daffodit delight to shade a piece of very vanilla card - before I roughly stamped my flowers. i could have used my stamp-a-ma- jig to line them up accurately - but somehow I don't think it matters with this particular set. I finished off the card with a butterfly from the beautiful wings embosslits folder (usinf paper form the Sweet n' Sour DSP) and a couple of rinestones.

It was only then that I thought of adding a greeting! So I quickly matched up a piece of card and stamped a greeting which was punched with the modern label punch. It's not quite where I would have placed it - but I think it works OK.

Anyway I will be back in a few days with another card that I've made. I can't wait to show you the card I made for my new nephew - but I can't post it yet in case his mum sees it before it arrives!
