Flutter by.....

Happy Wednesday y'all! Have you ever been in a situation where you don't feel like creating at all but suddenly you were so inspired by something that you can whip out a card within a short period of time? This happened to me last Thursday. I was feeling a bit boring at home and just don't have the mood to create. So I read my newly bought Better Homes and Garden magazine. I was flipping through the pages when one of the pic in the magazine caught my attention that I am back in the mood of creating. I went to my craft aka store room and whip out this card within 30mins. What inspired me is the green and brown color combo...and with that in mind, I took out my damask stamp by Prima and started to stamp the background. Then I started to play around with the butterfly chipboard by K&Co.....mix and match till I found these two pieces of butterfly chipboard that match perfectly. The lace is from my birthday present....I saved it for future use :) Add a ribbon and a pearl....and tadaaa....the finished card!


If you notice, this card does not have sentiment. What you suggest?? With or without sentiment??

  1. Love the stamped background and the lace! And the butterfly! Gorgeous work Cindy!

    I think it's okay not to have a sentiment on the card. Perhaps you can stamp something inside the card...:)

  2. I think cards should have sentiments, but sometimes, when you are not sure which sentiment to use, it's better to leave it blank. The card is so beautiful that it speaks for itself.
    Have a happy day,

  5. well, if without the sentiment, you can use it for a variety of occasions. Maybe you can include the sentiment when you know who or what occasion you're giving the card to :)

  9. Gorgeous I like making cards without sentiments because it's perfect for that last minute card you need and you can always add a sentiment later inside the card.

  12. Well I haven't been feeling like anything lately. I still create here and there but that's it. Obviously I haven't visited in a while. Just blah...

    I LOVE your card though!!! I felt the same way last night when I made my last card. The ottoman in the movie I watched jumped at me and thus the colors of my card. It's a great feeling, huh?
