Timeless Tuesday: Bugs, Bees, Butterflies, Oh My!

Good morning Flourishes friends! It's Timeless Tuesday again and this week Maki, our hostess, is challenging us to: Use Bugs, Bees or Butterflies on our cards! I love all of them, but my favorite of the three, has got to be butterflies. They are just so soft and pretty!

I chose to focus fully on the butterfly only, and decorate around the butterfly, building out and around it.  It's meant to look like a butterfly under a glass frame.

I used a butterfly image from Flourishes "Butterflies and Blossoms" that I colored in with watercolors, then I cut it out and popped it up on popdots, placing it on some diecuts in the middle of my card. I created the framing with a multitude of Spellbinders dies that I cut from Flourishes Classic White Cardstock, then I added some burnt orange rhinestone bling to finish the card.

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday: Favorite Stamp and Spellbinder

Good morning Flourishes Friends!! Today's hostess is Silke and she is challenging us to create a card or project with: Our Favorite Flourishes Stamp and Spellbinders!


This challenge excites me, the possibilities are endless, because I love all my stamps and Spellbinders!! I love focusing on sentiments, so I chose to feature one of my favorites on my card. I have had this card idea for a while, just waiting for the perfect challenge. I'm a fan of simple cards, and this is by far, my favorite elegant and simple card yet.
I used the sentiment from Flourishes "Butterflies and Blossoms" I stamped in Memento "Rich Cocoa" ink on top of Flourishes "Classic Ivory" cardstock. I cut the sentiment out with a Spellbinders Label # 20 then sponged it in with "Scattered Straw" Distress Ink. I cut out a few Spellbinder diecuts, popped them up on popdots, placed them around my card, then added pearls to them. For the card base I scored a 1/4 embossed line all around my card to frame my sentiment and diecuts in. I popped that up on top of another base, to which I also scored a 1/4 inch frame all the way around it.

Timeless Tuesday Butterfly


Good morning and welcome back to another Timeless Tuesday challenge. 
This weeks hostess is Cindy, and she is asking us to create a card or project with a Butterfly on it.

I really love butterflies and Flourishes has a few stamp sets with them, but I chose the butterfly from the "Butterflies and Blossoms" set. I love the full wings this butterfly has :)


When I used a butterfly from Flourishes "Butterflies and Blossoms" stamp set stamped in Memento "Rich Cocoa" onto Flourishes "Ivory" cardstock, that I colored in and heat embossed it many times for that muted antique look. I cut out the butterfly and popped it up on popdots. I stamped the flowers from the "Butterflies and Blossoms" in Memento "Desert Sand" onto a cicular diecut that I also popped up on popdots. I used some patterned paper and a decorative diecut, a May Arts "Ivory" Silk Ribbon bow and some bling.
