~{Butterfly Basics Masculine Card Tutorial}~

Hi there, writing this very late at night, to the sound of dripping from my loft onto a bucket on the landing!  Hence I am a bit behind on blog posting and prepping for a card buffet tomorrow!

Anyway, here is a video tutorial on the card above. The photo is actually of the one I made, smudges and all!!! Just keeping it real!

I showed some of my team how to make this card at our team meeting this week, and someone asked regarding the post mark stamp..."Where's that stamp from?", I replied "New York" to which they said "No, what stamp set is it from?!", lol oops!  

This is another card using the large splatter stamp from Gorgeous Grunge

Ingredients:

Butterfly Basics and Gorgeous Grunge stamp sets.

Mossy Meadow, Hello Honey and Baked Brown Sugar

Very Vanilla and Naturals Ivory Card,

Tombow adhesive and  Stampin Trimmer.

So simple, but effective results.
