Serene Silhouettes

I found a card made by Karen Titus and decided I had case it as it's such a fabulous technique, it's the same as Triple Time stamping but you only use 2 sheets of white cardstock instead of 3.  Firstly you stamp your image in Black Stazon onto the smaller piece of Whisper White card, layer this onto the bigger piece with some non permanent adhesive then sponge colours of your choice across the 2 sheets of Whisper White, separate the 2 pieces of Whisper White add your layer of Basic Black then adhere to your card base.

Butterflies fluttering here and there

I love this card their have been a few different one on Pinterest, the Butterfly has been punched out using the Subtles Designer Paper, the Lattice Die is adhered to a background piece of  Whisper White, the Early Espresso has been embossed with the Wood Grain Embossing Folder. I added some isopropyl, water and a few drops of Elegant Eggplant ink into a Stampin Spritzer to spray the flowers. 

The Lattice Die was used inside the card as a pop up for the Butterflies, I found the pop up idea on Jacque Williams blog (thank you Jacque).

The Lace Trim Flowers my favourite trim is in the Seasonal Catalogue along with the Wood Grain Embossing folder which retires June 30th.
