Brushos and Butterfly


Hi everyone.  Playing some more with my Happy Little Stampers stamps.  This is part of the Butterfly Birthday set.  I simply heat embossed my butterfly and sentiment in white onto mixed media paper, and then sprinkled yellow, leaf green and turquoise brusho crystals and then misted lots of water.  Fun, easy and quick card to make. :)

It's been a busy start to the week.  We are having a heat pump installed (heating and A/C).  Yesterday, the furnace was installed and today it's the air conditioner.  It should be up and running by this afternoon! :)  Hubby and I have suffered through the heat this summer.  It's been exceptionally warmer than usual for our area, and I think it's just a sign of the way it's going to be.  The A/C should help keep us cool and feeling better in the summers from now on.  Speaking of feeling better, hubby is sick today and in bed.  Hopefully I'll be able to learn how to run the new system before the installers leave today.  Wish me luck! :)

Thanks for coming by for a visit!

  7. Very pretty card Loll, have loved lots of your cards lately, but my arthritis in my right hand has been horrible, hence not wanting to type too much of late, so just wanted to let you know, I have been watching your card making, just not commenting much, keep up the great work.

  28. Can you hear me going "ooooh" ---if not, I DID! Love the look of the new HLS butterfly the way you've used it on this beautiful brusho background. Very bright look with the white embossing, really liked the sparkle of yellow that was tickling through the blues. Hope Mr. is soon over whatever has him sidelined just now, and again, glad the a/c is all installed. TFS & Hugs
