Little Butterfly Card

This card is really more of a gift tag, but it's my favorite so far.

I began by brushing the front of the card with some yellow watercolor. I don't have many ink pads, but you could go that route too. Then on a separate piece of cardstock, I did a gradient from yellow to blue in watercolor. When that was dry, I stamped it with a butterfly from Inkadinkado. I cut out the butterfly, folded it a bit in the middle, and glued it to the card.

With the leftover watercolor, I used a Recollections butterfly punch, folded those cutouts the same way, and glued them in "random" positions. I finished by dotting iridescent glitter glue around the background (though you can't see it too well).

I made another using a blue background, and a pink and purple butterfly. They're really cute little cards.

Xmas Carol Card

Here's a more xmasy card. My second one ever.

Using gold craft paint and a makeup sponge, I painted the top and bottom. Once it was dry, I stamped the Have yourself a merry little Christmas stamp.

I then picked a red and gold cardstock portion, and traced some of the lines with gold glitter glue.

I made the holly by drawing leaves freehand, cut them out to make a stencil, then traced them onto sheet music, cut them out, and colored the edges with a dark green colored pencil.

For the berries, I had some black plastic berries that came in a flower arrangement that I randomly won at AC Moore. I brushed them with white glue, dipped them in red glitter, and let them dry.
Then I stuck everything together and that was it! Simple, huh?
