We just got back from a week long visit to see our son.  He just bought his first condo and we went to help him get settled in.  It was a lot of work but we accomplished what we needed to do.   I have a stamp club coming in a few minutes so this is going to be quick. 

This is the first time I used the the new Fluttering embossing folder.  All I can say is Love it!  Okay, I best be posting this as I can hear the club members at the door.  Hope you are having a fabulous Sunday!

Right about now you must be thinking that I have like 3 stamp sets.  Trust me I have LOTS more.  

You might also think that I only have one package of  DSP(designer series paper) Pretty Petals  and one set of inks.  All of these things are not true.  Promise, some stamp, ink, and paper diversity will be showing up soon.

Isn't that fun?  The butterfly is flying to reveal a hidden message!  This card is winging its way to a friend who is recovering from surgery.

I have been out of my stamp room for over a week and needed a stamping jump start.  One way I do that is to participate in stamping challenges.  I have done  Technostamper's  challenges in the past so I  decided to start with her sketch.

Here is the Technostamper sketch.  

I was pretty faithful to the sketch except I changed the orientation from portrait to landscape.   I used some of my very favorite new paper, Pretty Petals DSP stack, the gorgeous Watercolor Wings stamp set and the Bold Butterfly framelits.

This butterfly  is a 3 step stamp.  First I stamped the bold/solid image in Blushing Bride.  The second stamp (defines the outer edges) I inked up in Calypso Coral ink and stamped off once before stamping.  The third image was inked again with Calypso Coral ink and stamped full strength.

I wanted to add a little sparkle to the card so I embossed the butterfly with Iridescent Ice embossing powder.  I wonder when there will be a glitter setting on my camera?
