Last night was a very productive one for me in my card making, as I worked on fulfilling all my current out standing card swaps. The three cards for the FLOOD swap were very difficult for me creatively. The reason for this is that I had selected, months earlier some of my basic grey paper and decide that I would make a card with that. I then adhered the basic grey to my 4" x 6" card and that is how the three cards sat for the last month or so, whilst I tried to work out what to do. I pulled out my October Cards magazine and was able to get some inspiration there and then the other two just came to me. Am I happy with my work? Well, I would never send something to someone that I didn't like or wasn't happy with or wasn't my best effort. However, the card with butterfly on it has grown on me over night where I am quite please with it and I am very happy with how the butterfly turned out. It was a Penny Black stamp, that I stamped with Versa Mark and then sprinkled clear embossing powder mixed with Stampin' Up's Dazzling Diamonds. I then went around the butterfly with a white gel pen. Anyway, by the end of the night, I was very pleased with my effort. I also finally used some stamps that I had for a while but had not yet used.
