Red white & blue butterfly card

The theme of Less is More challenge is COLOURS of YOUR NATION’S FLAG. My flag is Red white and blue … so I stamped a blue flower & sentiment, added a red butterfly and then tied a white ribbon ‘around the stems’. The stamps are Stampin’ up the layered butterfly is Martha Stewart punch. I couldnt leave this alone so i cut it down and added a red border. i think it adds a lot but am worried that that makes this more is more.

All the stamps I used today are all from Marks finest papers, see how I used the water ferns instead of the triangles, ha ha..

cucake dragon

It’s the anniversary of my fathers 92nd birthday, and i really miss him , this challenge seem really appropriate and reminds me of him for he had a favorite dragon ring( kinda like the one on the inspiration cupcake), plus I have this great dragon stamp from Stamps Happen Inc. I stamped then chalked for color then a added this sentiment(kinda hard to read) ‘ Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketshup’,.

Twine island

The Marks Finest Papers challenge was twine… i thought of sailor knots and sea scenes…but using twine is so bulky…. i guess i need twine practice. the background is cuttlebuged and both sentiment and the island are Marks Finest Paper stamps from summer mini set ‘sand between my toes’. Cute huh?
