Watercolor Wings

Butterfly Thoughts & Prayer

Here’s another card I made a while back combining two retiring stamps – Butterfly Basics for the image and Rose Wonder for the sentiment. I used the Butterflies Thinlits to die cut both butterflies. I love everything about this card. I think it’s simple yet elegant. The Butterfly Basics stamp set is a great collage stamp which allows you to layer your images one on …

High Tide

Everything you see on this card was stamped with images from the set which also has 4 nice sentiments. Isn’t High Tide a nice set for stamping your own peaceful …

Old & New – Pleasant Poppies & Touches of Texture

I don’t usually post cards with retired stamps, but I wanted to share with you this card that I recently sent a friend who’s going through a difficult time and needed encouragement.

I combined all the images from the Timeless Texture stamp and used different color inks to create the background. I …
