Butterfly Thinking of you card. GDP073

The GDP challenge for this week is a color challenge.  Pretty springy colors, bet you are all ready for spring, I know I am.  Also, I see that Bibi Cameron is leaving the team for now at least.   It's a fantastic team, but Bibi will be missed.

But they do have 2 team member who made the Stampin Up Artisian team list this year. Wow, 2  from the same challenge.  Paula Dobson and Louise Sharp, be sure to check out their cards and maybe congratulate them.

I have used 2 new products on this card. The yellow border is from Delicate Details in the SAB brochure. That is a free set you can choose with a $50 or larger order from any current catalog. I'm seeing so many adorable cards made using that set.

the ribbon is one of a set of 2, one silver and one gold metallic ribbon in the set, also a choice for free in the SAB brochure.  It's gorgeous ribbon!  I love when SU gives us 2 or 3 different ribbon colors in one set.

So, here are the colors for this week:

I hadn't used my butterflies in a while and they are so pretty with the leaves from the Florish Thinlits.

Stampin Up, Pals Paper arts challenge #290

This week is a sketch challenge, come along and join us.  Looks like many of you are, and I'm so glad to see that.

I've been wanting to use the Timeless Treasures stamp set and this seemed like a great time to do so. It's a little hard to see, but I stamped in Daffodil Delight on the same color paper as well as using the Tip Top Taupe Image. 

I used both the Bold Butterfly framelit and the Butterfly Thinlit.  One cut out the intricut butterfly, then I used vellum to cut the framelit butterfly and put that over the top.  Then I added the pearls for good measure.  I love how it turned out.

The green is Mint Macaron. Remember, these incolors are retiring May 31st, so be sure you have everything you need. Extra paper, refills and all the pads, they go really fast toward the end.

I used a small piece of Pretty Petals DSP paper stack to cut out my butterfly, the vellum did a very nice job over the top.

That is Mint Macaron lace ribbon on the edge and I used the Word Window over the top of the small oval punch. 

The Happy Easter is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope I have inspired you just a bit.

Stampin Up, Garden in Bloom class card

It's been several days since I last posted.  I've been at Convention! My first and most likely my last as SU won't be doing it in the US every year anymore, so glad I could go!

I had class today, this was the only card I got ready before I left, it kind of grew on it's own.

I used Blushing Bride, Whisper White, Black and Mint Macaron. Blushing bride is not a color I use hardly ever! I'm not sure why, it's really pretty, I'll be using it more often.

I was done with this card and set it aside. In the shuffle of my mess a butterfly I'd cut out landed on the card, and there it stayed. It really amps it up.

We got the new Holiday Catalog while at Convention.  And all I'm going to say about that is, start saving your money! Wow, it's fabulous!

Hope you enjoy and get ideas of your own, thanks for stopping by.
