Thank you for joining us on another Pinkies Blog Hop! We're showcasing lots of gorgeous projects using products from the new Stampin' Up!® Autumn/Winter Seasonal Catalogue. Simply use the buttons at the end of each post to keep hopping! 

You can make some truly beautiful cards with the Watercolour Wings Photopolymer Bundle. I have completely fallen in love with this set and I am now wondering why its taken me so long to use it? 

There are so many possible colour combinations that you can use for your butterflies. Take a look at this blog to see pictures of some wonderful colour combinations that Heike Vass from Germany has put together. 

I tried a few different backgrounds with this card - various different Designer Series Papers and the leaves from Kinda Eclectic, but none of them was the look I was trying to achieve. I am so glad I picked up my Gorgeous Grunge stamp set as this was perfect. I stamped off to get a more subtle look and added some Rhinestones for a bit of sparkle.

I also love decorating the inside of cards. The sentiment on the front and inside of this card are both included in the Watercolour Wings stamp set. The fonts lovely and look great stamped in Rich Razzleberry on Whisper White cardstock.

I hope you enjoyed this project today. Next up is some Christmas Cards on Saturday. Its a Pinkies blog hop too so there will be loads of amazing projects from my Pinkie sisters. See you then!

To make this card, I used the Hardwood stamp set for the wood effect background stamped in Staz On Black Ink onto Kraft cardstock. I also used the Kinda Eclectic stamp set for the leaves, also stamped in Staz On Black Ink. I added a layer of Typeset Specialty Designer Series Paper before mounting it onto Basic Black cardstock. To finish it off, I added a die cut butterfly in black from the Butterflies Thinlits Dies.

The stamp set I've used today is just gorgeous. Its one of the hostess sets that you can earn from qualifying orders from Stampin' Up! annual catalogue.

I absolutely adore this colour combination, I first saw it used in a project on a fellow demonstrators blog - my friend and fellow Pinkie Sarah Berry. Click here for a peek at her fablous project using the same stamp set and the same colours. 

Naturally when I came to use this set for the first time I couldn't think of any other colour combination to use except for this one - I've used Pool Party, Melon Mambo & Old Olive. It has a Cath Kidston look about it, don't you think?

I used the large butterfly die from the Bold Butterfly Framelits Dies to cut out the butterly. I used my magnetic plate with my big shot to make sure the framelit didn't move. These framelits also coordinate with the Watercolour Wings stamp set, which is amazing. I think the framelits are well worth investing in as you can use them with several coordinating sets for lots of different looks.

Just before I go...... I know its completely impossible to tell from my picture, but I wanted to tell you all about what I've used to add something a little different to my project. Its called an Action Wobble Spring. I've used this spring to attach the butterfly to the card. It not only gives the butterfly a 3D effect, it also allows the butterfly shape to move slightly with a fun wobble motion. We used one of these for the first time at the quarterly training event in July so  I've been waiting for an opportunity to use one of these in my projects. Check out this short video to see what they are all about.
