CCMC Saturday Blog Hop – Fly Away

SP15SatHopWelcome

It’s Saturday and you know what that means!!! It’s time for another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Design Team Blog Hop! This week’s theme is Fly Away…the Design Team could use any selection of stamps with images that can fly! I know I kept it kind of predictable and used Watercolor Wings…but with a pop of color!

Watercolor Wings

Here are the details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Melon Mambo, folded in half.
On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Smoky Slate cardstock.
Towards the right side is a 1-3/4 x 5-1/4 strip of Melon Mambo stripe and a 1 x 5-1/4 strip of the hearts pattern from the Pop of Pink Specialty Designer Paper.
The Layered Scallop Square is cut from Whisper White and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimesionals.
Just For You from Watercolor Wings is stamped in the lower right corner with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.
The butterfly from Watercolor Wings is stamped with Melon Mambo on scrap Whisper White, then overstamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.
Clear Wink of Stella is added on top of the Tuxedo Black Ink for some sparkle.
Rhinestones were scattered in the background of the card for some extra bling!

Love the bright colors on my butterfly…reminds me of visiting the butterfly conservatory up near Niagra Falls! OK…next up is our Create with Connie and Mary website. Or head backwards to see Melissa’s card for the day!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 24 years and just had my 23rd Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Lewis Center, Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Westerville, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!
