Let your dreams take Flight

Thank you for being so sweet on my last post! You all have been such a great friend to me! Now I know I will never be lonely when I have great company like you all! I just love the blogging community :)

I made a card last night using colors that I rarely use. In fact, it is so unpopular that cardmakers tend to shy away from using this color. I too find it a little intimidating but I braced myself and created this card anyway. By now you know what color I'm talking here. I can't tell if I like what I created but it's definitely too purple-ish for me :) If there are two things that I love from this card are the butterfly and the stamped doily. The butterfly is actually made of tissue using the buterfly die by PTI. I die-cut four butterflies and stamped each with polka dots before layer them together.


Be sure to come back again tomorrow as I have something to share :) Have a great day!

  9. Isn't it crazy we shy away from purple?! I know I do too! Well, my dear friend this is just adorable! I love that tissue paper butterfly and will have to try stamping after die cutting it. Your layout and that doily stamp (who made that btw?) are spot on.

  15. Cindy, I think you did a great job with the purples and kraft so don't worry.
    I just recently picked up a couple different colors of purple cardstock as sadly I didn't have any.

  17. No matter how much I adore purple in real life, I find it hard to craft with them too... but here you did a fantastic job! Love your stamped doily and tissue butterfly!

  18. It's so nice, I barely noticed the purple!
    I love how you cut the butterfly out of tissue (brilliant!!) and that doily - did you use an actual doily or a rubber stamp of a doily? Either way, it's so pretty!!

  21. I think it looks great, and I love purple almost as much as I love pink. Ya know...I was thinking about purple the other day and realized that there just isn't much DP with purple in it. Not sure why. I would use it until the cows came home. Actually I think my next card will be purple. :)

  25. Yea, most ppl aint to keen on the color purple. But I must say you did a darn good job, although it is a strong color but you manage to soften it with that gorgeous stamp and butterfly. You're a genius girlfriend
