Happy Monday!  It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday photo!  Isn’t this a pretty picture?  Such an unusual looking butterfly and very spring-like!

Here’s what I did using the Springtime Impressions Thinlits:

Stampin’ Details:

• • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Mango Melody, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Mango Melody.
  • The Springtime Impressions Thinlits floral arrangement was cut from Whisper White cardstock, then colored with sponge daubers and Old Olive, Gorgeous Grape and Daffodil Delight Inks.  It was added to the front with liquid Monoadhesive Glue.
  • The butterfly from Springtime Impressions Thinlits was cut from Basic Black cardstock, then glued on Vellum Paper.  The outline around the butterfly was hand-cut.  It was popped up on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The antenna is a piece of Black Baker’s Twine folded in half and secured behind the head with a Mini Glue dot.
  • The greeting from Country Home was stamped with Memento Black Ink in the upper right corner.

I love the bright colors and think it represents the Inspiration photo pretty well, don’t you?  OK…check out what Mary did with this challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!

It’s time for another Create with Connie and Mary’s Inspiration Monday!!!  Isn’t this collage GORGEOUS!  I love the gray/white/black color combination!

 

So, here is what I came up with using a new color, Granite Gray, and the beautiful Springtime Impressions Thinlits!!!  LOVE how lacy and delicate they look!

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Gray Granite cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
• A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Gray Granite was embossed with the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder and added on top.
• The floral design was cut with the Springtime Impressions Thinlits from Whisper White and adhered with Monoadhesive Glue.
• The greeting from Lots of Happy stamp set was stamped with Memento Black on Whisper White and punched with the Pretty Label Punch and added with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The butterfly was cut from Basic Black and added with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• A couple Rhinestone jewels were added to the butterfly for a little bling.

 

It’s a very simple card made elegant with the Thinlits, don’t you think?  OK…go check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Challenge this week over on Create with Connie and Mary!
