Butterfly Blossom Thinking of You

Hello and Happy Friday! I can’t believe that it’s the last weekend of August already! That Summer just flew by! I’m a big fan of the summer, love my flip flops and not wearing coats. I’m not ready for the cooler weather just yet but it seems to be here already. We have a three day weekend and that’s always nice. I think I may try to get into Manhattan to see my friend Kim!

I have had the idea for this card for a while. There are actually two cards, I’ll post the other one over the weekend. I used products from the Simon Says Stamp April 2025 Card Kit. The images and greeting are from the Simon Says Stamp Butterfly Blossoms Stamp Set and are stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto Hammermill 100lb Paper. The butterflies are stamped onto a piece of Hammermill that I stamped with the Simon Says Stamp Old Text Background Stamp first. I used the coordinating Simon Says Stamp Butterfly Blossoms Stencils and Various Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Inks with blender brushes to color them in. The greeting is stamped in Simon Says Stamp Nocturne Black VersaFine Clair Ink. The coordinating Simon Says Stamp Butterfly Blossoms Dies are used to cut everything out. I added all of the images and greeting to a card base of Neenah 110lb Solar White Card Stock with 3M Foam Tape. You know I have to have a little sparkle so I added some Simon Says Stamp Cottontail Embellishment Mix Sequins.

I do love a nice simple card and the stencils make coloring in the images so quick and easy! That Simon Says Stamp Nocturne Black VersaFine Clair Ink is definitely my favorite ink for stamping, especially greetings. They are nice and dark and crisp!

Thinking of you cards are always good to have on hand, they work for birthday’s, thank you’s or just because! I hope that you enjoyed my little bit of creativity for today! Thank you so much for spending some of your day with me and have a fabulous Friday!
