Your kindness makes such a difference!

28 Nov

Good morning!  I hope you’ve had a wonderful holiday and are recovering from a day of shopping! 😉  I can’t believe it’s almost the end of November!  I’ve got one more set of cards to share.  These all went out in the mail today!

I used the Altenew layering inks to stamp the layered butterflies from Papertrey Ink.  The sentiment is from Altenew and the scalloped shape is from WPlus9!  I die-cut the body of the butterfly from dark grey cardstock so that it would stand out more.  I also used two different inks on the top and bottom of the body of the butterfly.  As you can see sometimes I was more successful than other times in blending the two colors…

I really like how they turned out…that slight ombre effect is my favorite!!

Anyway, I forgot to mention it yesterday but I did send out happy mail…here’s my total so far:

November 2015 Total Cards Mailed: 55

Thanks so much for visiting and enjoy your weekend!  I’ll be heading home this afternoon and am looking forward to getting back into my craft room!

    Hey Jess, I think you’re being to hard on yourself, they’re beautiful. Sometimes we’re our own worst critics. Take it from your followers, they’re really pretty. Thanks for inspiring 🙂
