Blogtober 2015 Day 15 - Thank you Cards Part 3

For these thank you cards I have fallen back on the very first set of stamps that I bought from Stampin' Up called Fresh Cuts.  The main stamp in the set is this lovely background which is part script and part foliage.  I then stamped out some butterflies using my favourite butterfly stamps from Hero Arts - 'Three Artistic Butterflies' - these had been discontinued but then were re-released for a limited time so I grabbed them - they have certainly earned a place in my downstairs unit where my most loved stamps live!!  The butterflies were fussy cut (and yes I did lose the odd antennae!!) then were lightly glittered with Diamond Stickles which has a slight gold sheen to it.

The sentiment is by Stampin' Up and the sentiment mats were made with SU punches.

Whilst I was making these, I decided to make some of them into get well cards.

Tomorrow I will be back with the final part of this little series on Thank you cards.

52 cards challenge - week 14

There was a picture prompt for this week's challenge

 I used the chevron as the background for inspiration for the background of my cards and then the boldness of the red against it for my images.

I have no idea what brand the chevron paper is as it was a class leftover, the butterfly was downloaded from Swirlydoos and the snowmen are digital stamps from Dilly Beans
