CPS #131 and Stampin' Up

The exciting sponsor at Card Postioning Systems blog for this entire week is Jennifer Buck, an independent Stampin' Up demonstrator.

I not only picked out a great set of stamps to work with but I also picked out one of their embossing plates since I LOVE using those things, especially with Core'dinations cardstock.

I used a piece of cardstock from The Chocolate Box collection. This is amazing paper to use with the embossing plates. When I sanded it, you can see the brown cardstock with that great blue core. The butterfly was inked with a blue ink and embossed with clear embossing powder and a little border of color was added to the label with Copic markers.

I used the same basic CPS sketch for an additional card, I just made the card base a different size.

I also picked one of Stampin' Ups texture plates and used it with this Black Magic cardstock. You can see the black cardstock with the blue core showing through when I sanded it. The same butterfly was stamped with black ink on blue cardstock and then cut out.
Thanks for visiting, Linda (lbpost)
