- Stamps – “Sweet Butterflies” by Hero Arts; “Imagination” by Postmodern Design
- Patterned papers – Basic Grey “Blush” collection
- Cardstock – Bazzill
- Added ribbon and used a corner rounder as well. Punched out butterflies with 1″ square punch (Paper Shapers-EK Success). Popped-up butterflies with foam squares. Edged elements in Creamy Brown Colorbox Chalk ink.
I used Card Positioning System’s card sketch for this week: #207. This is my interpretation but I’m not overly satisfied, so I may try again. I really like the little triplet of images in the pattern. It is a nice, simple design.

- Technique: Colored image with Copic Markers. Distressed image edges and inked with Creamy Brown ColorBox Chalk Ink. Tore bottom edges of cardstock and added two colors of raffia to complete the card.
This is a new Fred Mullett stamp from a series of new images he has. If you ever get a chance to take a class from Fred, I highly recommend it! I met him last year at a class and it was really great, and you can count on high entertainment value to boot!

Inspired by a card from the January 2011 issue of Vamp Stamp News. This is my first post here and, as I said, I’ve got to start somewhere.
