Love your cards and especially your color blending combinations!
Thanks for including a video. Love the cards and how you selected those colors. Butterflies are my jam!
For some reason I often tend to skip over your name on the Blog Hop list & save it to come back to after hopping from one page to the next, I do this , because I know there will be a fabulous video to kick back to watch which will mark the end of the hop and will often show me something new. Your videos always find a way to wow me and today it was with SPARKLE, Oh My !! Who doesn’t love a good sparkly card especially when the sparkle doesn’t fall off all over your work surface before you even get it in an envelope, THANKS for sharing your favorite sparkle spray, I shall be checking this one out. I love a fine mist sparkle, one that doesn’t result in big blobs, don’t get me wrong, I love blobs but call them splatter or spatter, which is a whole other can of worms. I had an ah’ha moment watching you spray your sparkle mist on the flour sack towel . . MAYBE that is what I should do when just splattering, I’m thinking DROP cloth. I DO NOT know why I cannot splatter/spatter a card and NOT also splatter everything else in a close proximity, I need a walk in, close the door Tim Holtz splat booth, as opposed to the small cardboard desk top box. Watching people like you do the process while not splattering a two foot radius both impresses and frustrates me. Thanks so much for yet again sharing your fab cards and for broadening my horizons toward a good fine mist sparkle spray. Your cards were beautiful as always, one can never go wrong with a good & colorful blend, a great embossing folder, super die cuts for interest and a wonderful sentiment, making great cards need not be fancy schmancy, your cards today hit every single high note and resulted in spectacular results, You showcased numerous new products from Simon’s new release and did the release proud. Thank you for sharing your cards, your creativity and for demoing the process via a video.

The butterflies are a great addition to the SSS line. Your cards are pretty and your ink blending is very smooth. I do wish I could blend like that. I can IF I’m using oxides. Bunny Hoyle

Wowza, don’t know which color palette I love the most, but I’m leaning toward the yellow/peach one! Then the addition of that sparkly spray…magnifique!
I always enjoy a sparkly background, especially when they are made with a variety of ink blended colors. I am waiting to receive my whirl butterflies, so it was nice to see how you used them here.
