Hey there!
I’m not dead, I promise! I’ve just been out of the house a whole heck of a lot (and am finally feeling better)! I started this set of cards, knowing exactly what I wanted to do, on Thursday. Yes, it took me that long to finally sit down and get them done.
I absolutely adore little cards, so what could be better than a set of wee cards? These guys are 2.75” x 4.25” (half the size of your standard handmade greeting card). And I heart them. I’ve put them up on my Etsy shop, if you’re interested.
From some random fluke, I think these guys work for two challenges this week. They were initially my idea for this week’s challenge over at Just Add Ink – it was to use patterned paper.. I think I succeeded ;-) And it sort of works for the sketch challenge #96 over at Clean and Simple Stamping (see image at end of post)
Everything’s edged using Tim Holtz’s Distress inks. The butterflies are punched using a Martha Stewart punch on vintage book paper. The wee button’s by Basic Grey and thank you is from a fabulous set by The Stamps Of Life.
Thank you ;-)
LOVE them! The distress ink gives the cards a beautiful finish, and they certainly do qualify for the Just Add Ink challenge! Gorgeous little cards; you have every right to be super-happy with yourself :)
What a fantastic patterned paper.
Love your card set. The pattern papers are so beautiful. I also like the simplicity of the card. Great take on the challenges.
Friend, these are really super awesome!
Not being dead is always such a bonus! Love these scrumptious cards – what gorgeous colours.
Love the papers!!! They’re all awesome! And may I say, LOVE your blog design!!!
Just gorgeous! I love the butterflies in vintage book paper… beautiful!
