Butterfly Basics for Mojo Monday!

Stampin Up Butterfly Basics card idea by Mary Fish StampinUp Demonstrator blog

What, me water coloring with the Stampin’ Up! Gal stamp set?  Yes, indeed!  With a touch of ink and a Blender Pen, this pretty floral image is quick and easy to color.

Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge MOJO408

This week’s Tall & Skinny Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge (MOJO408) was the inspiration for my 6″ x 3 3/4″ card design!

STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:

  • I created a custom sized envelope using the Stampin’ Up! Envelope Punch Board and Neutrals Envelope Paper (one of My Favorite Things).

  • The envelope sizing for a 6″ x 4″ card (measurements on the punch board) was the best fit for my 6″ x 3 3/4″ card.

  • That touch of bling!  I used Stampin’ Up! Rhinestone Basics Jewels for a little bling on the flower center and butterfly.

  • The sentiment and butterfly (coordinates with the Bitty Butterfly Punch) are also from the Butterfly Basics stamp set above.

  • The coordinating Old Olive script pattern is from the Brights Designer Series Paper Stack (another one of My Favorite Things).

  1. The flower is stamped not cut, Lora. There are thinlits that coordinate with this stamp set but it’s for the butterflies (Butterflies Thinlits Dies #137360)

  2. Mary, did you fussy cut the flower or is there a thinlet that goes with this set? Thanks.

  3. With green being my favorite color, this card really caught my eye in the gallery! Gorgeous!

    • Thanks, Wanda. I’m a big fan of green, especially Old Olive (with that hint of yellow)

  4. beautiful card! it is always such a treat to visit your blog to see your new creations!

    • Thank you so much, Wanda and Kelly. It’s a treat to receive your kind comments!

  5. Thanks so much, Carol. You are always welcome to tap me on the shoulder to say hello. Sorry I missed you!

  6. First I want to congratulate you on all of the awards you received – loved seeing you walk across that stage and saw you walking down the halls deep in conversation with your buds! LOVE your card….wow….fabulous – TFS!

  7. Hi Mary
    I no longer have a deminstrator.
    I found out when I logged on.
    I live in Maryland, I was wondering do I have to have a deminstrator that also lives in MD, or can I use you?

    • Hi Kelly: Most of my customers live nationwide and I’m happy to help. I’ll drop you an email with more details! Mary

  8. A very clean and classy card, Mary. I love the simple touch of color and twine. I purchased the Aqua Painters last Spring and love the ease and results I get. You really must try them.

    • I’ll confess to owning the Aqua Painters and coveting the watercolor results I see. However, I love just zipping along with my Blender Pens.

  9. Oh, Carol! You are so sweet. I think the Painted Blooms DSP will be wonderful as an alternative!

  10. I loved this so much that I had to run right up to my craft room to CASE it! I don’t have the new DSP, so I used the green leaves from last year’s Painted Blooms DSP and it turned out so pretty. Thanks for all your wonderful ideas.

  11. I just finished the video. I simply used a Blender Pen and Old Olive Ink to watercolor. Couldn’t get much easier!

  12. Mary, thus card is beautiful. I can not believe you are not a pro at watercoloring. I your work is so beautiful. I am waiting for your video tomorrow. Have a great stamping day. Hugs, Ellen Hinds

  13. Beautiful card Mary, I absolutely love Old Olive. Truthfully I’m a total and complete sucker for neutrals. This card rings all my bells. Great job

  14. Thanks all for your sweet comments! Marianne . . . I haven’t “graduated” to the Aqua Painter yet, LOL.

  15. Love this card! I was planning to do a card with this stamp set and paper. You gave me a great idea to use for my thank you card. Thanks for sharing this card on you blog today!!

    Marianne

  19. Ha. Ha. Ha. You hit the nail right on the head. I am a color phobic. (A secret . . . I’m also a heat embosser phobic.) Looking forward to your video tomorrow.
    🙂
