10 Minute Tuesday
Not my day — I just wrote this entire post, only to have it disappear into cyberspace — so here goes again –
A nice and quick card today, using just one stamped image, one stamped sentiment and layers of paper with a bit of ribbon added in for good measure! Here it is:
- Stamps: Butterfly Moments by Flourishes
- Paper: Very Vanilla and Scarlet’s Letter by Basic Grey
- Ink: Palette Noir Black
- Accessories: Black Sheer Ribbon, Pearls, Petite Circle Nestabilities, SU Brad, Mounting Tape
This card is 5.5″ high and 5.75″ wide and fits a 6″ square envelope, available at Action Envelopes.
A very abbreviated versionof what I said and lost:
- Love my Nesties — so versatile and easy to use — you can’t appreciate them till you try them
- For a rich, lush card with little effort, use a rich, lush background paper. If you’d like to see all the sheets in the Scarlet’s Letter pad, check out this older post.
- Check out this inteview in the FLLC Forum at SCS — tips from Leslie Miller on watercoloring.
- Vote for your favorite in the Paper Crafts Gallery Idol Contest — our own Julie Koerber (outtoimpress) has a card in the runningusing our newest Stamp Simply set, Thank You (she used the little tulip) — just a gorgeous creation, Julie — thank you! Good luck to Julie and all the other contestants!!! You can vote here.
Thanks so much for stopping in - hope you are having a great week!!!
Oh, this is GORGEOUS! Elegant and dramatic. Beautiful! My blog blipped out last night when I was writing a post. Luckily, I had just saved so I didn’t lose anything. Isn’t that aggravating? I’m so sorry you lost it all!
This is so beautiful Sharon! Sorry about the blog woes……sucks when that happens….and that is being mild….lol!
Isn’t it sad when posting and photo editing can take an hour or more when the card took 10 minutes? You created a gorgeous card! Simply stunning! You know how I LOVE black and red though!!! I might need to buy a case of the Scarlet Letter paper! LOL!
Love this card…simple and beautiful!! Just got some of the Flourishes sheer ribbon and can’t wait to try it! TFS!!

Wow, that piece transcends cards and goes nearly to the realm of decor. Lucky is the person who ends up with this item… They should frame it. Thanks for the tips on what made this so nice looking, I’ll have to incoporate some of that lush background paper in my next collage or paper project. Cheers!
Totally gorgeous butterfly card, Sharon!! I love that paper, and your butterfly is so striking in the black with the pearl accents!!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh … an elegant, yet simple-to-create beauty!
