Stamping with Claudia (formerly in GA)

Mambo Madness!

Hi!  My name is Nance'.  I am another Tuesday club member.  We have had some great posts from all the guests this week.  Wow!  I want to send a shout out to Claudia.."Hey!  Hope you are having a great time.  Thanks for letting me be here today. :-)" 

Did you ever get stuck on a color??  Melon Mambo has become that color for me. It seems to be my "go to" color for everything, lately.  It is the core color for the card I am posting today.  

I used the plant stamp in "Nature's Walk" to create a background on Daffodil Delight card stock. I stamped off with Melon Mambo ink on some plain paper first, so the image would not be so bold. Next, I punched out the center and mounted the cardstock on Whisper White.  I wanted to add some texture to the white in the center, so I grabbed the new piercing template and went to work on some circles.  I did three rows.  They fit perfectly!

The saying on my card comes from "Precious Butterflies". I adhered the MM ribbon to the cardstock and adhered to the card (MM cardstock).  Do you see the little butterflies?  I love butterflies and wanted to make some embellishments. I used some Crystal Effects type stuff over the MM inked butterfiles.  I trimmed them up once they were dried and attached with glue dots.   They really made the card.  The flower was cut from the Baskets and Blooms Big Z die and attached with dimensionals. This was a fun and simple card to make.  I really enjoyed sharing it with you! 

Speaking of sharing...there is no greater joy than sharing your craft with someone.  This is Grandmom Marie.  At 99, she is learning how to stamp backgrounds sheets.  What an inspiration!

As we wait for our fearless leader to return from her journey, contemplate.....what do you see differently in the world since you have become a stamper?  God bless!
