a big thanks!

...to everyone who left comments and sent emails about the Pebbles DT. I love hearing from you and really appreciate your encouragement & kind words! I'm very excited about getting started on my DT projects.

Today I've got a couple of cards that I made last week - used some new Studio Calico Memoir, some cool new Jillibean stamps for Unity & my butterfly die:

Did a little water resist on the card above - also covered the butterflies with Distress Ink then stamped over with the same color. Like the subtle effect. Some more water resist on the butterfly below, along with some white heat embossing:

materials: cardstock: Bazzill; patterned paper: Studio Calico; ink: Ranger (Distress & Perfect Medium); embossing powder, butterfly die: Stampin' Up; stamps: Unity for Jillibean Soup; string: Martha Stewart; button: Crate


I hate that summer is coming to a close but I the Fall weather & Halloween...plus our Disney trip is approaching. (Disney at Halloween is the best!) Can't wait for that. Be back tomorrow with a fun 'Val's Birthday' giveaway  (yep, tomorrow is the big day!) and my page for The Studio challenge. See you then...enjoy the day!
