Elegant thank you

I was asked by one of my customers to create some thank you cards for her. She didn't give me many stipulations and allowed me to use my own creativity.

I've seen a few people stamp the flower image from the "Elements of Style" stamp set and then run the image through the Butterfly die on the Big Shot, so I immediately wanted to try this for myself.

I stamped the image, used Stampin' Write Markers to color in the image (Melon Mambo, Garden Green, and Daffodil Delight), then ran it through the butterfly die. Added a sheet of vellum with "thank you" stamped on the bottom and a splash of Garden Green card stock to make the butterfly pop. I ran the strip through the Elegant Lines embossing folder and added a few pearl acents for the body of the butterfly for a little extra zing.

Elements of Style

I used the new color coach (available July 1) to inspire me with this color combination: Night of Navy, Marina Mist (new!) and Whisper White. This Elements of Style stamp set (available in wood mount or clear mount) gives the perfect display of beauty. I used Stampin' Write Markers to fill in the color of the flowers.

Smooch Spritz

I wanted to try some of the Vanilla Smooch Spritz from the Summer Mini Catalog so I picked a classy color scheme for my card palette: Pretty In Pink, Basic Black and Whisper White.

When I uploaded my pictures I was very disappointed that the beautiful shimmer on the card didn't transfer well in my pictures. The pictures do not do the spritz justice because quite frankly, you can't even see the shimmer in my photos. Oh well, you can still see the card and use your creative minds to imagine the shimmering sparkle on the card in real life. :)
