Flap Happy Hope

I placed a long-awaited order with Paper Smooches on Saturday, and they arrived in my mailbox yesterday.  FAST!  I couldn't wait to get them unpacked and inked up.  My first set to try was Flap Happy - a wonderful set full with butterfly images!  It comes with 3 sets of butterfly dies too!

Here's what I came up with:

I hadn't tried the ombre effect yet, and as I was looking through all of my ink, I realized I had so  many options for color schemes.  You may be seeing more of this soon!  After I stamped the leaves and butterflies, I ran it through with a Woodgrain impression plate to give the panel some texture.

The dots and leaves are from another new Paper Smooches set called Leafy Greens.  This set was free with purchase for me, and I couldn't be happier!  I also ordered a couple of the leaf dies that go with this set. 

Cath, over at Moxie Fab World is celebrating lots of trends this month with the release of Card Creations 11.  This one is for her challenge to use the ombre color scheme.  You can see all the details if you click here!
