Papercraft Star Challenge #47

Good morning,
I have a few posts to share! We have one more week left in school and I will soon be on here a lot more! I have neglected you blogger and I am so sorry. But I am back!

I want to start off with a card that I am entering at Papercraft Star... I am using some new My Mind's Eye Lime Twist... These colors are fabulous! I love purple in every way and I was so exited to find this collection!

Here is the sketch!
Here is my card.
I created the lace flower with a bunch of Glue Dots since I have no idea where my needles are at... And I embossed the sentiment to allow it to stand out more than my original ink that I had used! I added my 1 cardstock, at least 2 patterned paper, and 3 bling!

Materials Used:
Patterned Paper: My Mind's Eye
Cardstock: Bazzill
Border Punch: Martha Stewart
Lace: Hobby Lobby
Ink: VersaMark
Sentiment and Embossing Powder: American Crafts
Button: Craft Supply

Enjoy,
Catherine

The Kraft Journal and Unity Stamps

This week at The Kraft Journal the theme is "Clean and Simple" which I absolutely love! It would probably be one of my favorite types of scrapping, especially cards! I used a really cute butterfly stamp from Unity's "Could I Be Any Cuter" collection, and cut out the wings which I stamped on yellow and pink cardstock. I then drew the lines to show the butterfly's flight path! And the sentiment is also Unity from their "Stitched Greetings" collection!


Here is the inside of the card:

Enjoy!
