  • To make the first card, I cut a piece of Pure Luxury White using Spellbinders Labels 23 die template.  Then I sponged Memento Cantaloupe ink while still in the die template.

    Sponged Memento Angel Pink.

    Sponged Memento Rose Bud.

    I removed the die template and then I stamped the flower image twice. I used a sticky note to mask the white section.

    I used Copic YG23 on the leaves and stems.

    Used Y17 on the flower centers and RV25 on the petals. (sorry I missed the shot on the RV25)

    I used a smaller die template to sponged the sentiment layer the same what I had done the first one, then I stamped the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the new Pure Luxury Petals and Wings pattern paper  to layer, along with Pure Luxury Passionate Pink. The card base is Just Peachy.

    Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day!

    36. As always, you've done a wonderful job. I was intrigued by the way you sponged the background for the butterfly then used the antenna part of the stamp to create a design that draws your background paper into the stamp itself!
