Apple of My Eye was not a stamp set that drew me in http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/default.aspx?dbwsdemoid=2075773the first time I saw it.  But lately I have using the stamp set quite a bit.  The fruits remind me of summer – my favorite season.   Now I find that I will miss this stamp set when it retires on May 31st.  Has that ever happened to you?

Colorful Butterflies!

4 Different Color Butterflies

Stamp Set – Kinda Eclectic, Timeless Textures. Watercolor Wishes
Ink – Pink Pirouette, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, Mint Macaron, Soft Suede
Cardstock – Pool Party, Very Vanilla, Watercolor Paper
Accessories – Linen Thread, Pool Party Glitter Ribbon, Mini Glue Dots, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Snail Adhesive

I CASED my card design from a card by Stampin’ Up!; you can see more samples from Stampin’ Up! on my website here.  They have always been there, but you have to click on the “Ideas/Great Ideas” tabs to access them!

Look at the original card below.  Sometimes when you CASE (copy and share everything), it is copied exactly and sometimes  you change the original design to make it your own.

I liked the design of the original card but changed it to use stamp sets that I had in my collection.   The grid background stamp on my card is from the Timeless Textures stamp set.

Since my background image was an open grid, I wanted to use a solid image over the top and choose to use the smallest butterfly from the Kinda Eclectic stamp set.
