The Metamorphosis Is In the Process!

The Metamorphosis is in the process and soon the butterflies will be here. I love them with all their color.  I chose to use the color combination of Night of Navy and Calypso Coral.  The Night of Navy does a good job highlighting the butterflies and then the Calypso Coral brings out the butterfly. However, it needed a touch of something else. I know —— flowers.  So I added a few small flowers to fill in the card.

I am sure you know someone you need to thank.  Of course, you could easily make it a Mother’s Day or Birthday card.

Base: The card starts with Sahara Sand.

Focal Point:  Randomly stamping the butterflies in Night of Navy. Then add the Calypso Coral for color.  You fill in the spaces with some flowers from Cottage Garden stamp set.  However, to me there is something else that makes it pop.  Can you tell what?  Keep reading.

It Is Time for A Riddle. Come Join the Fun!

Before we begin,  I hoped you enjoyed my crazy picture yesterday.  I thought he was just to cute to ignore.  Now I have a riddle for you what does an octopus and frog have in common?  Water of course.  So today you are getting two cards. The first is part of a challenge and is really simple design which what the team wanted. I just had to pick what I wanted in the circle.  So this frog is sending out love.

DSC_0084 Critter Challenge

Don’t worry this cute frog is not part of the retirement group.  I just chose it because it fit with this challenge.  Your next card will be retiring.

Base:  Is simply to two patterns with the black buffering it in the middle.  Orange and greens go together.  They are opposite each other on the color wheel.  However, the green needs to dominate the colors.   The strips were part of the challenge.

Focus:  The focus is this adorable frog in green with a green circle behind.  I wanted it to be bright as to say “I love you” or “thinking of you.”

Tips

Stamp Set:  You’re Sublime

Color Combination:  Cucumber Crush, Mossy Meadow

Ink:   Archival Black, Cucumber Crush, Mossy Meadow

Paper:   Basic Black

Designers Paper:  Everyday Chic, 2014-2016 In Color

Accessories:  Circle Collection, 2 1/2″ circle

The next card is another simple card.  We did this fold a few weeks ago. It is called a Collar Card  and was done January 16th as a video. I used the Artistic Paper that is retired out.  The octopus from Seas Street stamp is stamped on a 2 1/2″ circle which I punched out.  I used the bright cheery Daffodil Delight.  The Happy Birthday stated on the side is from Remembering Your Birthday which will be retiring.  It has great greetings and sentiments.

I think the paper looks like the ocean.  Picture the ocean swells. What do you think?
