Hello Stampers! I am sharing a card I made for the Clean and Simple Challenge on Splitcoaststampers: Butterflies or Moths.  For my card I decided to use my Butterfly Swirls Better Press plate.  I selected three inks and inked up the butterflies, and I ran it through my die cut machine.  I trimmed the focal panel so there was a border around it when I adhered it to my card base.  I had ran a bunch of the sentiment strips through the Better Press, so I could just pick one and use it on my card.  For the inside I stamped and die cut the sentiment and added a couple of butterflies.  Well that's all for now, back to work tomorrow!  Ugh.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Stampers!  I am back with another card using the BetterPress system.  I wish the pictures would show the impression this system makes when you run it through your die cut machine.  For this card I ran the bird plate through the BetterPress in black ink.  This time I decided to use watercolor pencils instead of watercoloring with ink pads.  I used a combination of watercolor pencils from different companies in order to find the colors I wanted.  After I watercolored the image I die cut it with the Spellbinders diamond die, and also die cut a black mat for the focal image.  This just fit onto the A2 card base that I ran through with a card front die.  To finish the card I added a sentiment.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Hello Stampers!!  It is Sunday and it is time for the Featured Stamper challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  I selected this card as inspiration for my card:

To make my card I started by creating my floral image and sentiment with the Spellbinders BetterPress System!  I don't usually jump on board to new products so quickly, but after watching some YouTube videos I thought I should try this out.  I'm glad I did.  My pictures don't do this image justice.  The texture that is created is amazing.  To color in the image I was not able to use my trusty Copic markers, because the ink is an oil based ink.  So I watercolored the image...not my strong suit.  I'll keep practicing.  After the image was done I trimmed off the sides of the focal panel, and added a black mat.  To finish the card I adhered the focal panel to the card base and added some sequins.

That's all for now!  Thanks for stopping by!!
