Black and White Butterflies Silhouette Cards

The week's challenge is almost coming to an end!

I wanted to put in one more ounce of muscle with these cards. They're really quick and simple to make actually. The paper is from DCWV's La Creme Matstack and the butterflies were just die cut in different sizes. I dabbed a bit of Versamark Dazzle Ink on them to give them a bit of a sparkle, but not too much. That's it!

This was also entered in the April Paper Crafts Connection Challenge.

Going to a comedy show in a few minutes in Long Island City. Hope I don't get picked on! :D

Have a great weekend!

Black & White Quilled Flowers "You're The Best" Card - Tuesday Alchemy #11

Happy Tuesday everyone! Thanks for stopping by today!

This is what I made for this week's black and white theme at Tuesday Alchemy. 

These white quilled flowers have two layers of quilling and both have rhinestone centers.

"You're the best" sentiment was wet embossing with white embossing powder and heat gun.

Feel Better Soon Quilled Yellow Flowers Handmade Card

Hope you're having a great evening!

I made an uplifting card that can be given to those who aren't feeling their best. A little love and care can go a long way in helping someone along a speedy recovery.

This card features 2 yellow quilled flowers. The centers were made with green and yellow quilling paper and dotted with metallic gold paint. Leaves are a turquoise-colored paper.

 "Feel better soon" sentiment was wet embossed on heavy card stock.

Flourishes are rub-on stickers and are dotted with glitter in select areas.

Tuesday Alchemy's new challenge is coming up soon! Stay tuned because this week will be a sponsored challenge! Info to come!

Have a great night!
