Flight of the Spring Butterfly

This is for today's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 577 - Smackin' Acestate following the tutorial found HERE I used so saffron, marina mist and pistachio pudding markers on my acetate, misted then pressed it onto white cs. And for today's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 368 - Spring Critters I inked up the solid image with crushed curry, island indigo and wild wasabi markers, huffed and stamped over my smackin' acetate section. I used the stamp-a-ma-jig for placement to stamp the floral section after inking with island indigo. I chose a butterfly as my cute spring critter. I always love to see them and the birds return in the spring.

For the inside and envelope I used so saffron and island indigo inks.
I hope you like it. Now off to work I go.

Suprise Pop Up Mother's Day Flight of the Butterfly

This is for today's COLOR CHALLENGE # 421 - Black Coral Breeze and Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 424 - I Like to Move it Move it. I chose to do a surprise pop up Mother's Day card using SCS tutorial found HERE.
My dp is from My Minds Eye - Home and I used stampin up's Flight of the Butterfly along with All Year Cheer II for my stamp sets. I stamped the outline of the butterfly in black and the design in Calypso Coral as well as the HMD sentiment, on the pull out I stamped a sentiment in baja breeze. My MIL is always so complimentary and appreciative of my homemade cards to her so I always try to make some special for her. I hope she likes it.
Sorry I was MIA last week but in Atlanta for training and no stamps, inks or dp with me, EEEKK!! I had to get to work early Monday to play catch from all week last week and did not have time to do the TLC until today. Am I forgiven? I hope so.
Have a great Tuesday and hope to see ya tomorrow.
