Spanish Butterflies

Hi Everyone.  Happy Thursday night.

Tomorrow is Friday.  Oh Yay!!  It's the weekend.  I am so looking forward to it.

Tonight's card features a set that many of you may not have seen.  It's from the Spanish Idea Book and Catalog.  I saw this set and fell in love with it.  I love everything about this set – especially the butterfly/moth image.  The splitcoaststampers CAS challenge a couple of weeks ago was to create a card featuring things that fly.  This card certainly fits for this challenge.  It also fits for the SCS Dare to Get Dirty challenge for to use lots of white space…well, in this case – Very Vanilla space 🙂

Card recipe:

  • Card stock:  Very Vanilla
  • Stamps:  Flores Suaves; Short and Sweet (sentiment)
  • Inks:  Crumb Cake (for background script), black StazOn for the moth/butterfly image
  • Inks:  Copics.  Sentiment Cajun Craze

Card instructions:

  • Cut Very Vanilla to A2
  • Ink sentiment with Crumb Cake and stamp
  • Stamp butterfly/moth with BlackStazOn with your favorite inks
  • Stamp sentiment with Cajun Craze
  • Adhere butterfly/moth with mini glue dots

A really quick and easy card, but one that I feel has a soft romantic feel.  I was really happy with it.  It's such a tranquil looking card.  It's a versatile layout and stamp set.  It could fit for a birthday, thank you or even sympathy card.  Of course, the color scheme can be anything you want it to be:-)

On a personal note:

Finally a cooler day.  However, I wasn't able to get out and enjoy it as I have only just finished work and it's 9.13cst.  That means no stamping for me either tonight.  But…….. I will get time in my room this weekend.  I will get time in my room this weekend.. I will … you get the picture :-)  I have so many ideas going through my head and a real need to put ink to paper!

As always a few prayers tonight…. Lynn, thanks so much for your update on Jim :-)  Germaine, pleased that things are going so well for you.  So prayers for Trish – continued prayers, T, Pri, Arthur and Rach.

I hope you all have a fabulous Friday… filled with love, laughter and the things that make you happy.

As always, thank you so much for spending time in my little area of the stamping blogosphere.  You know your visits are so very much appreciated.

Dont forget to smile at a stranger – it may change their life.

Hugs

Jaydee

  3. As always a beautiful card Jaydee! you have been in my thoughts all day yesterday, don’t know why! My stamping friend has twisted my arm to go for a class with her, and I agreed, not sure if I will survive the whole day, but I am going… will let you ladies know how I did! Feeling so much better, even though there is some pain! Thank you my dear friends for your prayers and positive energy you all send me… I can feel it!! Have a wonderful weekend you all! HUgs always!

  4. Simply stunning! What a beautiful card –as always! I like the little touch of the background-not the whole card-just a small portion and it is just perfect!

  6. I have GOT to get a words background stamp. How simple and elegant this card is. :o)
    Prayers for one and all. I’m probably going to be pretty low-key this weekend. Thank you for all your prayers.
    HUGS.

  8. Short & Sweet is my go to set. Great card…I love the butterfly and how it pops because the card is so simple. Have a great weekend in your room 🙂

  11. It is lovely! My mom, Bethany, Madison and I went on a road to Decorah, IA yesterday and found a delightful place called the Porter Museum. Bert Porter had quite a collection of many things but seemed to enjoy butterflies most of all. What a beautiful connection to our journey. Thanks for sharing and I will let everyone know when Arthur is finally scheduled for his procedure.
