I Brake for Butterfly Wishes!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a beautiful verse stamp with you.  Usually we think of the sentiment as being secondary, it's there to compliment the image.  This sentiment is the star of the card though. 

BUTTERFLY WISHES TEXT

It's such a pretty poem and the little butterflies accent it so beautifully.

My friend's grandmother passed away earlier this week (at 97) and I wanted to make something pretty for her.

I Brake for 2016!

Hello and happy Saturday!

This isn't just ANY Saturday...it's the first one of 2016.

Happy New Year everyone!

Today I'm sharing a thank you card.

I used two stamps from I Brake For Stamps on my card.

The first is a verse called Thanks So Much.

The image is called XLG Butterfly.

I always receive a lot of gifts at work from kids and co-workers so I need a lot of thank you cards.  This one is for one of the teachers I work with.  She absolutely loves birds and butterflies.

I was inspired by THIS card that I found on Pinterest.  I believe I changed it enough to call it my own.  Her original is so beautiful.  I just had to recreate it in some way.

I Brake for Birthdays, Butterflies and Blossoms!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a birthday card with you.  I've been trying my hand at water coloring a little bit lately and thought these flowers might look good done that way.

I used 2 different stamps from I Brake For Stamps.

I used...

EVERY DAY PHRASES

CHERRY BLOSSOM WITH DREAM

(I only inked the flowers and butterfly)

 

There are some Stickles on the insides of the flowers.  I also stamped the image twice so that I could pop  up the flower petals and the butterfly wings.

 

I used part of the flower to decorate the inside of the card too.

 

Sunflower sympathy

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a sympathy card that was a special request from my husband.  About 7 yrs. ago he started traveling to Canada on business.  He made friends with a man who subcontracts with his company and whenever he goes up there they golf or go to dinner.  Unfortunately,  after a 7 yr. battle with brain cancer this man's wife passed away.  She was only 42.

Her favorite flower was the sunflower and her favorite colors were pink and aqua.  I was lucky enough to have a paper pad that was FULL of sunflower themed papers and many of them in this pretty aqua shade.  I also believe everything happens for a reason.  Last month when I placed my I Brake For Stamps order I chose almost exclusively flowers.  This LARGE SUNFLOWER was in my order.

I paired the flower with the verse WITH SYMPATHY.

Though my husband will tell people I'm a talented cardmaker he almost never comments on any card I make.  He told me at least 3 times how pretty and perfect this card would be for his friend.  I hope so.  I've met him and he's a wonderful person.  I can't believe he's going through this at only 40 yrs. old.

Here's a close up of the beautiful verse from IBFS.

I Brake For Beautiful Sentiments!

Hello and happy Saturday!
Renee here and I've got a beautiful verse to share with you today. 

 The verse is called HELEN KELLER.

I used some of the Wild Orchid flowers from IBFS store.

FS-00149 ~Deep Ivory Cherry Blossom 10 Pack

FM-00064 10mm Ivory Open Roses 20 pack

You can see how pretty the flowers are and also the dimension created by popping up the the framed exterior of the card.

I used 2 stamps from the half-sheet BOTANICAL set on the inside.

 

I Brake For Large Violet Stems!

Hello and Happy Saturday! 

Today I'm sharing a vintage style card.

from the BOTANICAL set.

My grandmother will turn 93 on Mar. 22 and this is her card.

On the inside I used a pretty verse from the EVERY DAY PHRASES
set and the BUTTERFLIES from BOTANICAL.

I Brake For Blue Butterflies!

Hello and welcome to my IBFS Saturday post! 

Today I'm sharing a sympathy card that I made.  The mother of one of my co-workers passed away and I needed to make a card for her.  I'm not sure exactly why but I always think butterflies are perfect for a sympathy card.  Maybe because they're so peaceful and beautiful to look at.  I've used XLG Butterfly on my card.  I Brake For Stamps has many beautiful butterfly images.  

Here's a close up of the detail in the butterfly.

I used pearls down the body and colored  it with Copic markers.
