Kitten and Butterfly!

Hi, everyone!  Today I have two re-creations to share with you.  The reigning Queen For The Day over at Splitcoast is Gabby aka gabalot....congrats, Gabby!!!  I chose this beautiful card to case.....I loved the layout and tried to keep it as clean and simple as possible....no piercing, no pop-ups other than the butterfly.  This is a birthday for my neice, Madelyn.  I chose the kittie image from the "Cat Sympathy" set and the sentiment from "Mini Tags 3", both from Our Daily Bread designs.  After all, what little girl doesn't love kitties?!

Card 'Ingredients':
Stamps: Our Daily Bread designs 'Cat Sympathy' and 'Mini Tags 3';
Cardstock: Stampin Up 'Pink Pirouette' and 'Whisper White';
Designer Paper: Basic Grey 'Green at Heart';

For my next card, I got some creative inspiration from this week's Featured Stamper at Splitcoast, Lee-Anne Cross aka Shadow's Mom.  I chose this gorgeous card......I love the cool CAS design.  This is a birthday card for another niece, Mahalia, who is one of Madelyn's older sisters.  I started off by creating two straight masks with scratch paper, stamped the grunge background from the "God's Love" set in plum, then sponged the edges and over the background with Melon Mambo.  I removed the masks, then stamped the "2-step Butterfly" in Rich Razzleberry and black, then added the sentiment, piercing, pearls, and Glimmer Mist for some sparkle.
