HAPPY MONDAY to Y'ALL FROM MISTY!
Yes, I am from Texas, and Y'all is a word! LOL
I am here to give you a little bit of inspiration for Mother's Day in the form of a card. I really don't make cards often, but when I do, I like for them to be unique.
For this one, I chose to use a butterfly stamp and ALL of the brighter colors of our Powder Puff Inks to make the various butterflies.
I stamped a few directly onto the front of the card, and then I fussy cut out some others to create a 3d effect. I also used crystal stickles to cover all of the wings of the fussy cut butterflies. It looks fantastic in person! The bouquet of butterflies will be perfect for a Mother's Day Card!
Designers Tip:
For the 3d butterflies, I used the full strength of the inked stamp. When I stamped directly onto the front of the card, I did blot scrap sheet of paper to get some of the ink off of the stamp a few times. I wanted it to be more pale looking as opposed to the bright and vibrant ones that are popping off the card.
Supplies used:
Stickles
Cardstock
Ribbon
Puff paint
Thanks for stopping on over today to spend a moment with us at Quick Quotes! Stop on back tomorrow for more inspiration and the winner from our weekend hop!

Hiya, Misty! I'm a Texas girl born and raised myself so I give you a hearty "Howdy, ya'll!" shout out. It seems that we Texas gals share more than a love of papercrafting... we love butterfies too! I rarely make a project, other than for the guys in my life, that doesn't have at least one on it! Your card is gorgeous! I can also visualize using embossing powders to give it one more element of dimension. Aren't those Powder Puff inks fabulous?
It's like the butterflies are just flying off that card! LOVE it.
If we can say Yinz in Pittsburgh then Y'all is a perfectly proper word. LOL That is a eautiful card!
I was in the store yesterday I didn't see stamps its a cute butterfly stamp or are they just for the club members I love butterflies
