Saturday… ahh… the weekend! It was nice and sunny here yesterday and warmed up enough for a ride home from the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store with the top down! I got may haircut in the morning and then headed over to the store. Renee and I worked on projects most of the day. Sandy stopped by and picked up her Lawn Fawn Dies. My Mum text me than Daniel wanted to FaceTime me so I called them. He showed me all of his new cars that he got! I wanted to get to see him before he went home so I left the store around 6:00 and spent some time playing cars with him. He is just so cute! After dinner I came home and played with this month’s My Monthly Hero Kit! I made a card with it that I will share later in the week! Today I have to go and pick up George and Heather from LaGuardia. They are coming back from New Orleans, hopefully with their luggage! You know what Delta stands for right?! Don’t expect luggage to arrive! LOL!
The card that I have for you today is for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge…
I worked on my card while I was at the store yesterday. The base is the usual Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. Two strips of card stock go down the left, Madras Blue and Mosaic Blue Textured. Yes, there it is, a piece of Gold Mirror Card that I adhered with E-Z Runner and Fun Foam! You knew it was coming! LOL! My butterfly is from the Altenew Painted Butterflies Photopolymer Stamp Set and is stamped in Arctic, Caribbean Sky and Persian Blue Crisp Ink. I used the Coordinating Dies to cut him out and adhered him to the Gold Mirror Card with Foam Tape. The greeting is from the same set and is stamped in Persian Blue. A generous sprinkling of Pretty Pink Posh Gold and Bermuda Blue Iridescent Sequins and the card is done! I love those Painted Butterflies and the of course that Gold Mirror Card that I’m seriously addicted to! I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge! Thank you for stopping by and I wish you a very satisfying Saturday! 🙂

Good day!
Thank you Magali! You are very welcome! I hope that you enjoy your trip! You will have to let us know! 🙂
Just beautiful. I need those butterflies 🙂
Thank you so much Sandy! Yes you do! LOL! I’ll keep one for you! 🙂
Blue, Gold & White – a combination that can’t go wrong and, of course, since the gold is mirror paper I love it even more. Tell me this Justin – Where do you find the patience to select the colored sequins one at a time and then to place them so beautifully on your cards? Now I’m really a patient person but working with those tiny sequins is beyond my scope! LOL Maybe it’s because of all the dang costumes that I’ve sewed sequins on over the years that makes me shy away from using them on cards. At any rate, you really know how to turn what is already a beautiful card into an outstanding card! Love it.
Have yourself a Super Saturday my friend. We have a sun shiny day but the temps are still on the chilly side. Love and Hugs, XXOO 🙂
I’m super addicted to that Gold Mirror Card Grace! Believe it or not if I take too long they look to perfect! If I do it quick they look better! I use tweezers too, my fingers are too big! LOL! I’m surprised that you don’t use sequins more! I LOVE them! Glad that you like the card! Thank you!
I hope that you enjoy your day too! There is a crop at the store today, lots of people! It sunny here but will be pouring later when I got to retrieve Heather and George! Love and hugs to you! XOXOXO 🙂
What a stunning card, Justin. I love blue and paired with the gold and white, it’s perfect. I also love butterflies and this one is very pretty. Have a great day!
Thank you so much HJ! I like the butterflies! They have that loose artistic feel! You have a super Saturday! 🙂
Very pretty card! Love that set of blues from Altnew, heck, I like all their inks. Where do you punchse your Gold Mirror paper from. It has a lot more shine then mine.
Super hot here, finally summer!
Thank you Linda! Yes, I too love all of their inks! I get the Gold Mirror Card from The Paper Cut, usually when I go to a show. I love it!!
It’s gorgeous here today! Hot but there is a lot of wind down here by the water! 🙂
Love this card Justin! I do love that butterfly and all those sequins are so fun!! The gold mirror adds some great dimension and shine! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
