Butterflies Forever

I seem to be making sets of cards lately.  You know me, once I get an idea in my head I love to play around with it.  Have a look at these: I was, of course, inspired by a card on Pinterest, this time by Erin Gonzales.  You can see her card here .  I really liked her card, but I wanted make one without the whole of the white panel being embossed so I could put a sentiment on it that could be read easily.  I loved the combination of backing paper, the little banner at the top, and of course, the butterflies.  The yellow panel at the back is Summer Starfruit, the pink is Primrose Petals and the blue is Island Indigo.  I used some of the images in Summer Silhouettes to stamp in white on the background panel. Note: It is entirely because of this card that I have bought the dsp for the In-Colours shown here.  So much for using up all my dsp! The next step was to find some stripy dsp, as I really liked this look in Erin's card....

I recently bought a new set of Sizzix stamps and dies and couldn't wait to get home and open them.  BUT also, I am in love with the colour combination on the new More Amore dsp, which contains Pool Party, Primrose Petals and Real Red.  In previous years I've made and sold loads of Valentine's cards, as I sold them in two local shops, but this year there will only be one card for the hubster.  So instead  I decided to play around with the colour combo as I've decided it's not just for Valentine's day.  Here's what I made: I made this as a result of just playing with the colours and not really minding if I didn't have a card at the end of it.  The base is Pool Part...
