I am thrilled to be adding my first card sample to Phill's blog!
We are currently making this card at our workshops in the Sheffield store, and I have also attached an alternative version for you!
This card is a sample using the beautiful 'Butterfly Elegance' stamp collection and the gorgeous 'Frosted Essentials' paper pads. I have chosen the Frosted Aqua colour theme as it coordinates with the decor in the Sheffield shop!
On this card I have used the A5 Sentiments Stamp set to create the main sentiment, but the lovely flourish is also part of this set, making coordinating the card easy. (I did mask off the butterfly from the flourish to keep the sentiment clear) To add more interest, the smaller butterflies are from the Butterfly Icons A6 Stamp set which I think finishes the die cut centre perfectly!
Here is what I used (with links to the WWW if you need them)
