Basic Swallowtail Butterfly

Hi there and happy Monday!  Hope you all had a happy holiday!  Can you believe we're almost at the end of another year?  The year flew by!
Yesterday I mentioned that I'd  have a sample from Club.  It is similar to a post from this past summer but an image from the new 2015 Occasion Catalog was incorporated into the mix.  The out-of-the-box technique shown in Dawn Griffith's video is one that I felt the girls would like to learn.  You can view her video HERE.  The background was made by stamping the fern image from Butterfly Basics.  This is a new set appearing in the 2015 Occasions Catalog, which goes live January 6.  (You are gonna love this new catalog!)
Must get going since the granddaughter is still here.  Thanks for coming by for a visit today!

Butterfly Basics Sneak Peek

Hi there!  Hope everyone had a great weekend.  Seems that a lot of people are sick, though.  It's bad enough being sick, but at this time of year.....doubly bad!
This past weekend I spent a little time in the studio and played around with the new Butterfly Basics set from Stampin' Up!, which is in the new 2014 Occasions Catalog.  Loving this set!  (Actually, there are a bunch of awesome products in the new catalog AND in the Sale-A-Bration brochure!  Just sayin')  Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Blendabilities were used to color the flowers.  I didn't spend much time coloring/shading, just quick strokes to fill in the petals and leaves.  At first, I was going to leave the flowers as they were (stamped in black).  They just didn't look right and were begging for color!  Lol  That really made a difference.

OK, must run to an appointment.  Thanks for stopping in today!
