Ladybugs and Butterflies

Hello everyone,

I am finally uploading some of the cards made recently.

My stamping friend Taryn (SCS: littledadybug3)

was recently hosting a ladubug/btterfly/dragonfly swap (s).

I took two spots in ladybugs and butterflies cards and here are the results:

For my butterfly cards I used a new (to me) tecnique- thanks to the link

my friend Kathy sent me via e-mail....(she does ENABLES me a LOT with the many

beautiful cards she pins....and now she's got ME hooked on pinning too!!

Kathy is ALL your fault...lol) I DO love this tecnique but I did tweeked it

a wee bit: instead of using sponges I dusted off my brayer and it worked just fine :o)

See the original 'Double Sponging Tecnique' tutorial here:
