Hi Dreamers!
Happy Saturday.  Saturday is always a reason to celebrate!  LOL  I am taking some time today to blog a bit, already made a retirement card for a friend, and I am going to try to make a few cards for kids later on in the day.  More on those later.  This month The Blockheads Design Team is focusing on Butterflies.  And, on this lovely Saturday, I want to share a monochromatic CAS butterfly card.

Materials List:

Blockhead Stamps: Whimsical-Take Flight -Swirl and Butterfly

Stencil Stamps Set (there are 3 of this set left and will then be retired)

Verses-Special Delivery

Inks: Potter's Clay and Cantaloupe from Memento

Cardstock: White and Clay

Instructions:

How about a few fun Challenges:

Okay, I am going to get a cup of coffee and take a little break.  And, then!  Oh, I will think of something fun to do.  Hopefully work on those kid's cards.    Have a super weekend!!  Love ya.

Shadow Stamped Butterfly

Hi Dreamers!
Back again today!  During the month of January the Blockheads Design Team will be showcasing projects with a butterfly theme.  Fortunately, I love butterflies.  And, I have been having fun with some of my new butterfly stamps from Blockheads Stamps and will have lots of projects to share with you this month.  Today, I have a card that incorporates shadow stamping.  Take a look.

Materials List:

Stamps: All from Blockheads-

Stencil Stamps

Whimsical-Take Flight

Verses-Special Delivery

Inks:

Crushed Olive and Forest Moss Distress Inks

CS: White and pale green

Instructions:

• On white CS, Stamp the large shadow stamp with Crushed Olive ink
• Stamp the Script stamp (Whimsical-Take Flight) with Crushed Olive
• Stamp the Butterfly with Forest Moss ink
• Make a card base from pale green CS

Inside

• Repeat for inside omitting the script and stamping off once for the shadow stamp and butterfly

I made the  stamping on the inside lighter so that I could write over it with a regular pen.
