Birthday Butterfly ATC's

 For my ATC's today I made the background with a bunch of different dies that I already had cut out by Sizzix. The stamps are by Stampin Up, Sizzix, Recollections and TPC Studio. Ink by Colorbox, Stamp It and Hero Arts. The pearls are by Forever In Time and the rhinestones by Want 2 Scrap. 

The butterfly in the first card was colored in with Peerless watercolors mixed with water and Stickles. I popped it up with some foam by Tiny Crafts. There are two patterned papers and they are both by Recollections.

The second butterfly was colored in with the same except instead of Stickles I mixed in white Perfect Pearls. The second ATC is has been dry embossed the old fashion way with a metal stencil, stylus and a light board. 

Thanks for looking.

I kept all of this post so I can look back on what it was I was, doing at this time in my life.

For the next couple of weeks Aly's Sunday challenge is being sponsored by Shannon's Sentiments for their spring challenge. Here is my card for the challenge:

I used the flower from Shannon's Sentiments Garden time set. The rhinestones (around the center of the flower and at both corners of the card) were put on by my new fun toy by Imaginisce, the I-Rock. I used ink pads and makeup sponges to color in the flower. Ink by Stampin' Up, Stamp It, Memento and Ranger. All of the other stamps are by SEI. That pretty green ink is by CTMH. I added a little distressing action on the sides and on the inside I called it an anniversary card to be sent out tomorrow. F

Imaginisce cards I made

If you missed it yesterday, I sent in my application for the Imaginisce DT call this past weekend. I have a few (3) cards that didn't make my final cut to get sent in. So for fun I thought I would share them here.

This one the purple and white papers weren't Imaginisce so this one was a no. **Technique**On the bigger label I dipped the side of an acrylic block in ink and "stamped it" on the label in rows to give it color and interest. The rows don't have to be perfect because most of it is being covered up anyway. Supplies: Imaginisce unless otherwise indicated; white paper by The Paper Co; purple paper by The Paper Studio; ink by Ranger and Stamp it; die cut by Spellbinder label 1.

This next card is all Imaginisce products except the card base but there are older products in this one. I'm not sure how older products are looked upon in DT calls. Do the people that have the newest lines with all the trimmings where they spent a ton of money, get looked upon with more likeness then those that aren't able to afford the latest and greatest? I don't know. So I didn't send this one in. Supplies: stamp by The Paper Co; ink by Ranger; card base by Recollections.

This last one there wasn't near enough Imaginisce product in it but it will be great for Cards for Kids. Supplies: cardstock unknown; embossing folder by Provo Craft; stamp by The Paper Co; ink by Ranger and Stampin Up; punch by Stampin Up; turquois paper by Print works.

Be sure to check out the Imaginisce blog from now until Christmas for some amazing projects and giveaways. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas over there!!!
