Thank You

Hello Everyone!!! Today, I quickly want to share a card using some new My Favorite Things stamps and Dies. I created it for the 5 year celebrations at Color Throwdown blog.
My card:
I used a piece of Vellum onto the white cardbase. It gives such a subtle softness to the card. Love the effect. I used embossed resist to create these washi tape. Since the colors and butterfly calls for Summer to me, I am submitting it for the challenge at WOW embossing powder. More later!!

You're Fintastic

Sure!!! All of my friends are Fintastic :) I had this scene ever since I saw this stamp by Paper Smooches and when I saw the current challenge at Paper Smooches Sparks. I knew, what I want to do and it came out exactly how I had imagined. It's such a happy feeling. Love my own creation...lol. Here is the inspiration photo for the ocean scene and I picked the colors from this weeks Runway Inspired Challenge (ocean blue, teal, orange and a bit of purple on white base):
