All A Flutter Elizabeth Birthday

I created another card today.  This one uses some single stamps available in the new Stampin' Up! 2010-11 Idea Book and Catalogue (email me if you would like a copy of your own) All A Flutter and Elizabeth.  I used the new In Colour Peach Parfait as well as Whisper White.  Here's the card.....

The recipe for this card:

Stamps:  All A Flutter, Elizabeth

Ink:  Basic Black

Markers: Peach Parfait, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Soft Suede

Cardstock:  Whisper White, Peach Parfait, Shimmery White

Other:  Finial Press Embossing Folder, Dimensionals, Peach Parfait 1/2" Stitched Poly Ribbon

For the butterflies, I stamped them in Basic Black on Shimmery White cardstock.  Then I coloured them with the markers.  First I coloured the all of both of the wings in Peach Parfait. Then I used Pumpkin Pie, and went out from the body in a half circle, making sure to colour the two dot things on each wing.  Then I used Cajun Craze up close to the body again in a half circle, and both dot things on each wing.  Then I went over the shaded parts again with the Peach Parfait.  I think they turned out quite well, don't they look like Monarch Butterflies?  Here's a close up picture for you.....

Bye for now, Happy Stampin'!!!   Glenda Mollet
