Quick and easy card set

Along with the cards I’ve shown you, I gave Pickle’s teachers a set of four cards to use themselves. I decided to do a One Sheet Wonder set that I stumbled across a while back by Julee Tilman and you can find the directions on her blog. I wish I would have gone back and checked out her examples before making mine… I think that some embossing and matting would have been great.

I have to say, you can’t beat making eight cards out of such a small amount of paper, without tons of extra scraps left over like normal.
In making these I used half a 12 x 12  More Mimi SWIC patterned paper, four sheets of brown CS for bases and then scraps of kraft and white CS from my scrap bin.

For the first card I stamped my butterfly in Bordeaux Palette ink sponged everything in Burnt Umber and added some brads.

For the second card I stamped a butterfly in New Canvas on the base, added some scor-bug on the strip and colored the other butterfly with Prisma Color pencils and highlighted with glitter pen.

For the third card I added some piercing to some corners and stamped in New Canvas and Burnt Umber palette.

For the last card I stamped with Burnt Umber and Bordeaux together, added some glitter pen to the butterfly and tied on some tan floss.

Life So Big

Here I am with more butterflies! This is another card from my June card class. This set is also from the May and June Jubilation so only days remain to get your hands on it! I colored it in with an AquaColor Crayon and then smoothed it out with a water brush. I wish you could see the sparkle that the Iridescent Medium gives the wings... so pretty IRL!
