Fluttering by to say . . .

It's time for another challenge with us at the Southern Girls.

This fortnight Team Lou have created projects to inspire you for the new challenge

Today I have used the Beautiful Wings clear stamp set by Newton's Nook Designs,
one of our generous sponsors this fortnight, to make a pair of CAS cards.

I pulled out my MISTI, combined a butterfly with two sentiment stamps and stamped them on A5 X-Press It blending card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  Of course, when you're using your MISTI, you have to ask the question, why make just one when I can stamp two at the same time?  To make them a little different, I moved one panel down lower in the MISTI so that it would be higher on the panel.  I heat set the panels, coloured with Copic markers, adhered to A5 top folding card bases then secured the bling flourishes in place.



Can you read the sentiment?
You can see it in full screen by clicking on the photos.
It says:

Fluttering by
to say ...
You are simply
Wonderful



Such a delightful way to share some love all-year-long,
not just for Valentine's Day.



I added a tiny rhinestone heart to the inside of one flourish for an extra touch of love.

NOW it's YOUR turn!
