Stampin' Up! Medalion and Grace Taylor (?) Butterfly Thank You card

Hi guys, sorry it has been so quiet over here on the old blog, unfortunately I haven't been crafting much, as I've had a lot of uni work, as well as a social life (!) 

I have a card to share today, which I made a couple of days ago, to give as a Thank You card, for someone special!

I used the Stampin' Up! Medallion background stamp, stamped in black ink, I then cut out a circle of black cardstock, and popped a white rub on on top of it. The patterned paper is from Kaisercraft, and the butterfly is from Grace Taylor (I think). I coloured it with my Spectrum Noir Markers and fussy cut it out. I finished the card with some bling and a ribbon bow... 

Here is the close up -  

I am entering this into the Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger- Elegant Emerald. I used the colours and the butterfly as my inspiration... Thanks for popping around!

Saturated Canary - Blank Purple Card

Hi guys! I'm seriously procrastinating writing an essay at the moment, so I thought I'd share a card with you! 

I recently acquired this stamp, from Saturated Canary. It was second hand when I bought it, but how adorable is she?! I had to ink her up, pretty much straight away... I sat with my friend Kel, and had coffee, and coloured her up... sitting in the cafe... It's a great way to spend an afternoon! I used my spectrum noir markers, and just used what ever colours took my fancy... which isn't a way I usually create... Usually I pick my papers first! I then brought her home, fussy cut her out, and had to find papers that matched! I trawled through my stash, and found this light purple patterned paper (Grace Taylor) that has been in my stash for maybe 4 yrs! I layered it up with some off cuts from Kaisercraft, and MME. The paper flowers and button are from my stash as well.  

I decided to leave this card sentiment-less for the time being... When I use it, I'll pop a sentiment on it! 

I used the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches, and the challenge from Saturated Canary - Good vs. Bad... this chicky looks like she is so pure, and innocent... perfect for the "good" theme!
