Happy Tuesday! How y’all doing? Wow it has been busy around here . . . lots of crafty time! I’ve been super busy with monthly projects, tutorials and class projects. Yes, you read correct class projects . . . we’ll cover that a little more later.
I’ve had a couple of sets of stamps sitting around the studio since November or December. I can’t really remember when I got them, all I can remember is that I haven’t had time to get them inky. This weekend I made a point to sit down and color up some images (some for some special projects and some for play). After walking the little shihtz’ this morning (great weather here finally), I decided to put together a card or two with some of those images.
The one I have today is made with JustRite Stampers Botanical Butterflies. The image was colored with Copic Markers and then die cut/embossed/layered with Spellbinders™ circles.
I don’t know why I’m in a white mood lately, but white paper is calling me. Instead of building upon the white, I added some black and then dyed the seam binding to match the colors of the butterfly.
To get the seam binding to just the right color, I started with Dusty Concord Distress Ink. It was a little too red for my taste, so I kept adding Chipped Sapphire to be the right touch of blue with the purple.
The background was embossed with the new M-Bossabilities, Elite. I couldn’t resist a little sponging, with Antique Linen, and some sewing. The end flap on the card was die cut/embossed with Grand Labels Four.
That’s all I have for now. Thanks for stopping by today!

Beautiful card, Sherry. Love the vibrant blue and black against the white.
Oooh! Love this Sherry!!
Beautiful card Sherry. Love that botanical set by JR. It was the perfect time to dig it out and ink it up with Spring right around the corner. I love your color combo.

Very, very pretty card, Sherry! I love the embossing on the white, the colors you chose and the ribbon dyed to match!
Sherry, Beautiful card as usual. I love that color combination and butterflies. So those two things paired with your talent and I gotta love it. BTW, thank you for turning me on to dyeing my own seam binding from Amazon.
