Animal antics with Team Lou & The Southern Girls

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.  I heat set the panels, coloured with Copic markers, adhered to a A5 top folding card bases then secured the bling flourishes in place.


Full details about the
Animal Antics with Team Lou Challenge
and my cards can be found HERE.

This post is to focus on my card with the heart in the flourish.

I adjusted the placement so that the top 1/3 of the card was "white space"
and added some extra LOVE with a little heart inside the flourish.

 

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 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.

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