Lots of Love with Lots of Butterflies

Some birthday purchases came in recently and I went all out on this fun little card.  Let's just say my birthday presents to myself were quite generous. :)

I stamped the Pinkfresh Studio Small Butterflies and used the coordinating layering stencils with Distress Oxides to create the background.  Then I used the coordinating hot foil plate with acetate and gold foil for the shaker panel. The narrow border hides the Scor-tape. 

Finally I sponged a leftover piece of cardstock with Distress Oxide Salvaged Patina, Mustard Seed, Picked Raspberry and Wilted Violet to use with the Pinkfresh Studio Lots of Love dies.  I used Recollections gold mirrorboard for the letters.

I'm entering this in Simon Says Wednesday Out with the Old and In with the New (PFS is new; transparency sheets used for acetate are old), Addicted to Stamps & More #410 Die Cuts and/or Stencils, The Crafter's Cafe #270 Layer It Up, The Watercooler #320 All About Occasions, and PFS July Butterflies.

Surprisingly, I also got the sequins from Michaels--Recollections brand. Apparently some sort of make your own tumblers and such is all the rage, so they have a really large selection of fancy sequins quite suitable for shakers. Get them while you can.

Cupcake Thank You

This is one of the sets I bought myself for my recent birthday and I made it into a thank you card for someone from the Lawn Fawn Addicts FB Birthday Group who had sent me a card.  Fitting, right?  I think of this one as a lemon cupcake with lavender infused frosting and candied fruit garnish.  Yum!

Little tip:  To spatter the card without spattering the cupcake, I placed the stamp over the image and used it as a photopolymer mask.

I'm entering this in Happy Little Stampers Watercolor Anything Goes and TIME OUT #192 Hungry.
