First up, a vellum flower and fun button!
The black and white simplicity here makes me sooooo happy. And that fab button was in the stash of stuff Audrie gave me for Christmas. Woo-hoo!
Next, butterflies and bling...these sort of work pretty much everywhere.
The card stock I used for the butterflies is shimmery and so very lovely. If you click on the photo, you should see a larger image and can pick up the shimmer on the large butterfly. I positioned the large one to draw attention to the word happy, and then the three butterflies form a scalene triangle.
Aren't you impressed? I used isosceles the other day and scalene today. A scalene triangle has no equal sides and in this design provides a pleasingly organic contrast to all the regular parallel lines of the text block.
Didn't know stamping could be so geeky, did you?
Have a wonderful weekend. I sure am. My hubby is back from ten days on the other side of the world. Of course, he's crashed from jet lag, but still. We're glad he's home!

Love the one with the butterflies. I'm heading for the hills now as Math and I don't get along too well LOL! Have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not a butterfly person, but I really like the card with them on it.
ReplyDeleteBoth are lovely...I think I like the vellum flower and button the best! Love the shimmery butterfly, too. Both are excellent!
ReplyDeleteI love them both. I am getting so many great ideas for this set from you! And, learning a bit about math, which was always a favorite subject of mine!
ReplyDeleteAw... perfect. Absolutely perfect!!LOVE!
ReplyDeleteLove them both! Happy weekend to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteLove what you've done here! Saw the first and went Ooooh! Saw the second and went Aaaaah! You slay me with your simply beautiful CAS designs.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the butterfly card. It's so lovely.
ReplyDeleteTwo great ideas with one stamp, amazing. The butterflies look perfect with the text, a sweet & simple design.

Somewhere in my stamp stash I do believe I have an old set of Hero Arts definition stamps and you've inspired me to get them out and so something with them. I love the one with the butterflies. Very cool. Glad your hubby is safely home.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why, but these text block stamps have always intrigued me - love your ideas for using them!
ReplyDeleteI definately noticed your use of the word isosceles ... knew you were up to something :-)
ReplyDeleteI like them both a lot, but the butterfly one is absolutely perfect. And the word "happy" is such a great word to put with butterflies!
ReplyDeleteI haven't thought of either "isosceles" or "scalene" for many many years - seeing them takes me right back to high school!
Today's cards are great! I had a feeling that stamping could be that geeky, as I am so in love with it! I'm glad your husband is home from the other side of the world. My husband has just left to go to the other side of the world and will be gone for a while. Thank goodness for Skype!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see you tackled a thought that I often have when looking at these definition stamps! Embellishing them is such a great idea :)

I've always shied away from all-text stamps, because I have no idea what to do with them. Now, thanks to you, I have a few ideas - I really appreciate that!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful cards! I have never used an all text stamp - but I am anxious to try one now. I recently discovered your blog, and have been enjoying it so much. Thank you for sharing.

Another big thumbs up for the butterfly design, my favorite of the ones you've done so far. I love the contrast of the rigid black and white text with the softness and movement of the butterflies.
