My first card is from the most recent StampTV kit called Springtime Silhouettes. I love this set! I chose the butterfly and wet embossed it with black on GKD Pure Luxury Ivory, then cut it out. I took a panel of the ivory and "dirtied" it with some Black Soot and Pumice Stone Distress Inks. I used the Fleur De Lis Spellbinder Die and tossed a few pearls on it. I had some ivory lace and that little strip of DP from Graphics 45. I had the button and the ribbon. The small tag was a MS punch and the tiny butterfly was from the Sending Sunshine stamp set also from GKD.

My second card was a really quick last minute card. I have had the first Stamp TV set I purchased called Eclectic Summer and Eclectic Summer Sayings, sitting on my craft table for a week but inspiration did not strike until I opened my order from GinaK and one of her new paper packs was in there. It is from Echo Park and is called "A Walk in the Park". Aha, now I knew what I was going to make. I stamped and colored the hot air balloon and then used some clear embossing powder on it. Then I used the scalloped circle Spellbinder and sponged them a bit to look a little like clouds. I used a Cuttlebug folder on some of the DP and just kind of threw it together. I took the picture just an hour ago and now I am thinking it needed something else on it. But - too late. Here it is as it is.
