Beautiful Day for a Beautiful Soul

Beautiful Day, Occasions 2018, Stampin' Up!, Thinking of You, Butterfly, Watercolor, Brusho Crystals,

I just heard that a friend is getting "downsized" out of a job at the company where she has worked for almost two decades. It boggles my mind that they could do that to her.

Anyway, I'm sure she will land on her feet, and perhaps when she looks back on it she will realize it was a blessing. Even though it doesn't feel like it right now.

Beautiful Day, Occasions 2018, Stampin' Up!, Thinking of You, Butterfly, Watercolor, Brusho Crystals,

The butterfly was stamped in Basic Black Archival ink on Shimmery White. I used the awesome Brusho Crystal Colors with an Aqua Painter (Prussian Blue & Yellow) to color it, then fussy cut it out. And yep, I cut out the antennae, too!

The Whisper White panels on the Marina Mist card base measure 1-1/2" x 5-1/4" and 2-3/8" x 5-1/4", and the larger one was embossed with the Softly Falling embossing folder. It's a simple card if you don't mind a little scissor work! I hope it cheers her up.

Oh, and Happy Groundhog Day! Let's hope Phil doesn't see his shadow.

It's a BEAUTIFUL Day!


Oh, yes it is, because today is the start of the Occasions Catalog AND Sale-A-Bration! What is Sale-A-Bration? Only the biggest event that Stampin' Up! has every year, where you get freebies, based on how much you order (in $50 increments)!

And why else is today a Beautiful Day? Because that's the name of the stamp set I'm using here! It's an absolutely lovely set, and perfect to use with the new Brusho Crystal Colours! It's avalable in either wood mount or clear mount, too.

After I heat embossed the butterfly with copper embossing powder, I used an Aqua Painter and colored the wings with the Prussian Blue and Gamboge (orange) colors, drying each color with the heat tool before adding the next color to prevent bleeding colors.


When the butterfly was completely dry, I added a light washed background, and stamped the spots with Marina Mist (stamped off twice).


I love how the butterfly almost looks like stained glass, don't you? If you want to see the new catalog and SAB brochure online, just click the images on the left side bar. If you'd like a copy sent to you, please contact me, and I'd be happy to mail them!
