Butterfly Reflections, Ink

Hi crafty friends! I'm back on the blog with two cute slimline cards using paperie ink stamps . It's the last blog 4 months where going crazy fast. Time flies when you have fun! Thanks Vanessa for this great opportunity and I loved making cards and blogpost for your amazing shop. First I started cut a slimline cardbase with the slim card basics from mama elephant  using the smallest die from the set. For the bubble background I used the bubble background stencil from lawn fawn with distress oxide in the color tumbled glass  (for the landscape one I also used white ink for the bubbles). Next I stamped the images from the stamp set and colored them with my copic markers . I also cut some grass with the grassy border from green cardstock.  Next I adhered everything together and stamped the sentiments. I also stamped some exploding bubbles from bubbles of joy because I think that's a cute effect. Have a great and crafty week! Lots of love, Annemarijn

Let me tell you how I made it.  First I chose the colors I wanted to work with and two colors I really like together are the ballet slipper  and mermaid cardstock from lawn fawn.
