Butterfly Bijou #1 for Simple Saturday Share...

As promised a few project shares coming along featuring the now sold out and discontinued Butterfly Bijou papers...

This is one I made during our Jems Zoom team training session on Wednesday night... inspired by the cards that Julie shared with us on the night... 

However I am not yet in possession of the Butterfly Brilliance stamps and dies (though they are on their way to me!) - so I had to do things differently... 

So the background is made from one of the paper pieces.... stamped with first and second So Saffron stampings of some leaves and flowers from the Pretty Perennials stamps that I had out for the greetings...with a So Saffron daubing around all the edges to finish... 

The butterflies are fussy cut out of the papers... though you may be lucky enough to have the dies and the papers to die cut them in the one cut... 

And spot the Matte Black Dots for the butterfly heads... perfect finish!

Don't recognise the sheet of paper I used? There you go...

Gold Embossed Good Morning Magnolia & Magnolia Blooms

So this is the gold embossed card that inspired the white embossed card shared here earlier... 

And this card was inspired by many a one I have spotted around the internet... though I think the first one I saw was this one by the lovely Linda Dalke... who has a video tutorial for you there too... 

Though of course what I remembered was a white matted version... so then I searched for that and couldn't find it... so I guess that part was just in my head after all...

But simply... Crumb Cake mat temporarily stuck to an A6 Crumb Cake card blank...  gold embossed magnolias... 

Coloured in with Whisper White craft ink... using my trusty Aqua Painter... and then left to dry...

Then Petal Pink ink applied using Sponge Daubers... and then small mat stuck onto white mat... and onto card blank...

And an admittance... I don't even have Good Morning Magnolia... but I do have Magnolia Blooms... so this was my prototype... 

And then I borrowed the lovely Jill's Good Morning Magnolia when she was here... and quickly re-made the card

Remember that these 2 magnolia stamp sets work really well together... as not only are the greetings in the same script... but the magnolias co-ordinate with each other as they bring in different sizes... 

I personally like to use the largest magnolias in each of the sets on cards like these... but more on that another day...

And here are the 3 cards together... 

Magnolia Lane Simple for Saturday #1

 

Simple white embossed magnolia images on Crumb Cake card...

Coloured in with Whisper White craft ink... using my trusty Aqua Painter... and then left to dry...

Then Petal Pink and Mossy Meadow ink applied using Sponge Daubers...

So simple, quick but very effective... and very therapeutic to create too!
