Red Carpet Studio - Butterfly Effect

Happy Sunday!  How are you all today?  I hope that you are having a glorious weekend.  I know that we are having a productive, yet fun weekend here.  I know that I got some scrappy time in this weekend, so it was especially happy for me.

Today at Red Carpet Studio, a new challenge is posted.  "The Butterfly Effect" - In which you are to create a card with a butterfly on it.  The challenge is sponsored by   Floppy Latte Digital Designs - Once you create your card with a butterfly on it, & submit it via the link at RCS, if your creation is chosen, you could win a $10 gift certificate at Floppy Latte Digital Designs.  So be sure to head right on over to RCS & submit your card for this awesome prize.

As you know, I am stamp challenged, & certainly digital stamp challenged.  However, I recently bought a set of Tombow makers, to help me along.  Floppy Latte Digital Designs provided us with a few of her wonderful butterfly digital stamps to use, & I chose the one below.  I used my new Tombow markers, & made this card:


I used a flower cardstock base, layered on cordinating cardstock, pop-dotted between the orange & green layer, & added a few embellishments.  Including stickles, & a glitter pen. However, this is one of those cards that I just did not fall in love with.  It is ok, but not WOW!!  So, I gave it another try with different colors:

Again, I used my Tombow markers for the butterfly, I pop-dotted between the white & red, added some ribbon, & flower stickers, & I even used my sparkly fluff on the dots. I really love that sparkly fluff stuff.  I should use it more.  I like this card better than the first one, but still not my best work.  I guess I just didn't have the mojo flowing this week.  Maybe next time. 

Thank you for looking today.  Again, please be sure to head over to Red Carpet Studio & submit your card with a butterfly on it.  I am sure that it will be way better than mine! ;o)

Have a great rest of your day & see you back tomorrow for my Nuts About Sketches reveal.

Red Carpet Studio ABC Random Blog Hop

Welcome to the ABC Ransom Blog Hop,  hosted by  Red Carpet Studio !   If you've come from Stephanie J's  blog, you're in the right place. The Red Carpet Studio designers thought it would be fun to host a mystery blog hop while showcasing projects that can be made using all those leftover letters in your stash - hence where the "ransom" comes in. Ransom notes play a huge role in mystery/suspense films, and are often created out of random letters cut from magazines, newspapers, etc. in order to disguise handwriting.  While we won't be doing any kidnapping or holding anybody ransom today - we do have some creative projects to share with you! For my project using leftover letters in my stash, I created...   I used letters from a leftover Thickers pack, & used them to frame around the girls picture. I just randomly placed them to form the frame.  I used Basic Grey paper, & embellishments, & some random bu...
