The challenge this week is to make a thank you card. I am always out of thank you cards and it’s just nice to have a few on hand. No other rules — just a thank you card. And if you make a really simple one, make 2 or 3 once you’re at it — you’ll thank yourself later when you need them!! Can’t wait to see what you do and, as always, try to keep it simple. Most importantly — have fun!!!

What a fabulous Stamp Simply Team!!! Thank you girls!!! Much appreciated!!!
And here’s my sample:
This is one of the larger butterflies from Butterfly Moments, one of the new releases this week by Flourishes, and the gorgeous scripted sentiment is from another new release, Thank You. I just love the gorgeous wings and shape of this beautiful butterfly. I can see her being used over and over again!!! I used the 2nd, and last, of my favorite sheets of paper from the Sultry pad by Basic Grey. Doesn’t she look like a butterfly in a garden? I thought so!!! Here’s what I did to make this butterfly:
- Stamp butterfly onto white cardstock with Palette Noir Black ink
- Color in the white portions of her wings (I used Copics, but any way to color works)
- Cut and emboss image with Rectangle Nestabilities, frame with scalloped rectangle
- Use black self-adhesive Pearls on her head, antennea and for the dots on the wings. I used various sized Pearls as the dots were of various sizes.
- Using a Quickie Glue Pen, and working in small sections at a time, color over the black portion and then sprinkle with Dazzling Diamonds or other fine glitter . Tap off excess.
Here’s a close-up view of the butterfly:
- Stamps: Butterfly Moments and Thank You by Flourishes
- Paper: White, Black, Sultry by Basic Grey
- Ink: Palette Noir Black. Copics to color in: G40, G21, YG03, R20, RV11, RV34, Y000, Y21, Y15

And here’s a quick look at the full Butterfly Moments set so you can see all it contains. It was designed so there are butterflies that can be used as stand alone images, as well as smaller butterflies for accents on any of your creations.
And the scripted Thank You on today’s card came from the latest Stamp Simply release called Thank You. Such a gorgeous and versatile set!
