Just For You...

I spotted a card similar to this by Kylie Bertucci where she uses Pink Pirouette and Sahara Sand after being inspired by Brian King to use these colors together.  I loved the combination and wanted to give it a try.  I do have to confess about my Sahara Sand.  Can you believe that's the only ink pad I don't have!?  So, what I did was use Tip Top Taupe and stamped off once before stamping the butterfly and the tiny dots.  

The Pink Pirouette is stamped onto Very Vanilla and really looks nice. I even think one of my customers, who shall remain nameless, who doesn't like Pitiful Pink *wink* might like it a little better on Vanilla.


However, using the Pink Pirouette paper under the sentiment, just didn't look good at all.  It's fine as a small mat between the Very Vanilla layers, but not out and bold.  So I decided to use a stamp from Butterfly Basics onto Very Vanilla - it seems to work much better.

Which do you prefer?  I'd love to hear your ideas.


I think perhaps some Gorgeous Grunge splattered around would be good too.  Too much open space on these to suit me.


Take a minute and let me know what you think.  I'm trying to find something fun and beautiful to make for my very first EVER Stampin' Up! Convention in July!  Time's a wasting (tick tock!) and I need to get with it!  Ack!

Thank you for checking in today.  Please come back tomorrow!

    1. Thank you Sue. That's my favorite too. I actually added the tiny dots from Gorgeous Grunge and it seems to look better.

      Thank you so much for posting!
