I have another new designer joining Purple Onion Designs. Please welcome Jillian Foster to the design team! Jill has a really fun blog called "Inspired By". Each week Jill features a new artist and shares some of their card creations. Jill then does her own take on each of those designs. If you need a little motivation or inspiration then check out her blog and give it a try.
Here are two wonderful cards that Jill has created. This first card is my favorite. All the stamps work so well together. The colors on the butterflies graduate beautifully and pop against the monotone background.
stamps used: Postgram, Blossoms, Butterfly Set
More butterflies! Everyone loves this set. They are perfect cut out and adhered to a card in 3D. Adding some pearls to the bodies give them a little pizzaz. Stamping backgrounds is one of my go to techniques and the "Thank You" looks great.
stamps used: Butterfly Set & "Thank You" sentiment
These cards are delish. welcome to the team Jillian
