Aunt's Birthday

I've been playing with the stamp set Gorgeous Grunge lately, and I'm having way too much fun!

There are 3 main colors to this card - Wisteria Wonder, because my aunt's favorite color is purple - Wild Wasabi, and Daffodil Delight - because green and yellow both go so well with purple.  I stamped the Birthday Wishes with Elegant Eggplant.

Before punching the butterflies, I stamped the cardstock with the paint splatter to give them the same effect as the card.

After the butterflies were attached, I got out a can of gold glitter spray, and gave it a coat.

This card is going into a package with some stamp materials since Nancy always has a wonderful project when the family gets together.

Aunt Carole's Card

Aunt Carole is married to my Dad's youngest brother.  I got a wonderful Thank-You note from her recently for the Christmas gifts I sent.

I feel I'm a little ahead on projects right now, and have been playing with the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set - and thought I'd play with some colors, as well as send a return card.  I am notoriously bad at sending letters even though I make so many cards! 

 Bermuda Bay (I REALLY love that color!) Melon Mambo, and Crushed Curry are the main colors, with the die cut piece and 2 of the butterflies in Pool Party.  I cut the butterflies from cardstock, and just used one of the paint splatter stamps to give them some detail.  As always, I need rhinestone bodies for the butterflies! 

Here it comes - "No naked envelopes!"  I blocked out the center, because I wrote the address already - and had some fun with the paint splats and the colors.

LOVE that Gorgeous Grunge stamp set!  Not finished playing with it yet.... ideas, ideas, ideas!
