I've rooted out some of my oldie Penny Black stamps and used this MFT alpha set yet again, it's proving to be a great investment!
On Gina's card I covered the balloon with sparkle and then clear gloss and added some blue and green splatters. I also chalked in some clouds but thought the top corner looked a bit unbalanced, so added these Lawn Fawn cloud dies to fill it up!
- Balloon / text theme based on the pic over at PINspiration #184
- Tuesday Throwdown #330 - say it with words
- Word Art Wednesday #270/271 - anything goes
I liked how Gina's card turned out, so carried on with the same general design for Charoula's card which uses one of my oldest Penny Black stamps! I masked it off so I could stamp extra butterflies, and then covered them with sparkle and clear gloss. - Cute Card Thursday #465 - no patterned paper
- Less is More #316 - alphabet
- Addicted to Stamps and More #229 - clean and simple
- Crafty Creations #335 - anything goes
This is SO sweet, Lynne. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

These two cards are real beauties Lynne! I love the delicate colouring against the bold fonts and the personalisation is a super way to show people you care about them. The freely flying butterflies on the second card are superb. Thanks so much for joining us at Less is More xx

ReplyDeleteBoth card are so cute and love the slight inking. Thank you for joining our Challenge a few weeks ago at Word Art Wednesday. We have a week left on our current Challenge and I hope you join us again. Leaving you with the inspiration of God's Word in Psalm 84:11 and it says, "For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly." Have a blessed week.
