Tropical Party Birthday

Hey there stampers!  I know it's been FOREVER since I've posted!  With the kids out of school and me still working it seems like I have no time whatsoever!  I did manage to stamp a few things the last few days so I will show you those in the next few days.
Today's card is one I made using the Tropical Party stamp set and my Stampin' Write Markers in Close to Cocoa and Old Olive.  I also used the Log Cabin Smooch Spritz and the Lattice Embossing Folder.  The sentiment is from the Elements of Style stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are having a great summer so far!

Smooch Spritz & Butterflies

Hey there stampers! Thanks for stopping by today!
Today's card is super simple but I really like it!  I applied Silver Foil Smooch Spritz to a panel of Whisper White, matted it on another panel of Whisper White, then Basic Black and finally onto Whisper White card base.  The butterflies were stamped first with the Elements of Style stamp set in Basic Black then die cut with the Big Shot and Beautiful Butterflies Die and adhered with Dimensionals.

Have a terrific day and hope to see you again soon!

Hugs,
