Creative Expressions Thursday

Hi Folks

Here is today's card using lots of the items created by our Phil.
This really reminds me of spring days and birds singing early morning , gosh aren't I turning in to an old romantic haha
I love the colourway of this one and the beautiful delicate paper from the ad created by Phil also called Butterflies and dragonflies.


So here is how I created this one .



I chose the paper and the colourway I liked from the pad which is 8x8 and I cut this piece down to the size you see here and wrapped a little piece of pale yellow seam binding around the middle


I then distressed the edges of the paper slightly and inked them in Faded jeans ink to get rid of that white edge syndrome we all don't like lol.

Next I decided to add a mat for this pretty paper to sit on and decided to roll open one of the edges to view something, which at this stage I had not decided between all the gorgeous butterfly choices in this pack.


I chose one of the yellowy peach papers ans stamped this gorgeous butterfly with Rusty hinge distress ink in the top left , I also at this stage chose one of the leaf designs and a flower to stamp along the bottom of the paper, I coloured then slightly with stormy sky distress pen a white gel pen and a gold gel pen. To emphasise the gorgeous patterns, some exhisting already on the paper and some I added, If you look on the original paper above you will see what I added with my over stamping.



 Here is a closer look.

I created a mat and layer in the same eachy paper and stamped Have a magical day in that same Rusty hinge ink in the bottom right corner.


I took a piece of the blue paper and inked the edges, I wrapped some matching seam binging around it and attached to the mat before stamping the sentiment above.


 Here's my little butterfly too, 

A close up on the second sentiment and the seam binding bow above that too

here is another view of this pretty little card for today .



I hope you like today's different card , this one is all mellow yellow and the other one is more mad max don't you think lol
Anyway love to you all

  3. The soft background papers look great with the complementary stamps Kim and the rolled corner with the butterfly and then the pretty foliage with the dragonflies are both so pretty. x
