Red Rose Vine ~ CCMC393

Happy Thursday everyone!  It's time for another fabulous Create With Connie and Mary Challenge.  It's sketch week.....

I was a little stumped by this sketch at first.  I've never been a huge fan of repeated patterns like this.  

I perused my stamps to give me some inspiration and voila!  The rose vine from {Floral Wing}!  Perfect!  Each vine has four little roses on it which fit the sketch just right.  

I decided to go with red roses since we are close to Valentine's Day.  

After I stamped the roses I went over each one with Crystal Effects to make them stand out even more.  It's hard to see in the photos.  

Instead of a greeting I chose to put a butterfly fluttering down on the vines.  I cut out a butterfly using my Bold Butterfly framelits and Botanical Gardens Specialty vellum.  I perched him on the vines, but he didn't seem like enough, so I added in a red butterfly from {Kinda Eclectic} and topped it off with the small butterfly from {Butterfly Basics}.  I used a little strip of pearls for the butterfly body.

Here's a list of my supplies.....

Stamps: Floral Wings, Butterfly Basics, Kinda Eclectic, Hardwood

Ink: Smokey Slate, Real Red, Mossy Meadow

Paper: White, Sahara Sand, Botanical Gardens Specialty vellum

Accessories: Linen Thread, pearls, Elegant Butterfly punch 

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Smokey Chocolate Indigo ~ CCMC360

Hello fellow creators!  It's Create with Connie and Mary Thursday!  This week we've got a dandy color combination for you.....

I started with the fabulous, new DSP from the neutral color collection.  I'm so in love with the script paper....it's simply the cat's meow!!!

I'm always a sucker for polkadots and there are plenty of those to go around, too!  I chose the Smokey Slate polkadots for my background.  

I punched a Note Tag from the Chocolate Chip script.  The Island Indigo piece is a chopped up Labels Framelit (retired).

I stamped a butterfly from {Kinda Eclectic}, punched it out and popped it up on a dimesional on the tag.  I then embossed the "love ya" from {Floral Wings} in silver and placed the banner cut piece over the butterfly.  I stapled on some Smokey Slate ribbon and sprinkled on some sequins and voila'!  Card done!

Make sure you check out the other awesome creations from my fellow designers at Create with Connie and Mary!

I hope you'll find time to join us this week!

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

New Floral Wings and Lace ~ FM210

Yay, It's Friday Mashup day!!!  This week the challenge is to use butterflies and lace.  My butterfly is from a spanking new hostess set from the 2015/16 catalog.  It's called {Floral Wings} and isn't it beautiful???  It definitely caught my eye right off the bat.  I wanted to combine it with some of the new In Colors (Delightful Dijon, Mint Macaroon, and Watermelon Wonder) because the In Color coordinating ribbon this year is pretty, pretty lace trim!  What a match made in heaven!!!!

This card also showcases some of the new neutrals designers series paper stack.  I just love the bold, black stripe.

Thanks for taking a peek!
