Stamping and Easy Coloring

Simple Floral Card
Hi friends...my stash of cards has gone very low and I think it is because I  am making really complicated time consuming cards of late . So I thought I will just  have a bit of fun during the WCMD Challenges at Winnie and Walter and make some simple cards.
Stamping
One of the card Challenges is to quickly colour a stamp using it's coordinating  die to cut the shape on paper and color on the stamped image through it. I heat embossed a really old but favourite butterfly stamp from Hero Arts which has a matching Sizzix die
Colouring
I rarely use " black soot" and so it was fun to step out of my comfort zone and ink up black and white butterflies to create the background for my card. I was really surprised at how quick this technique was to color a stamped image!
Creating a background 
The butterflies looked lonely on their own so added dozens of tiny flowers from the Winnie and Walter  Scenery Big Bang Flurries stamp set.
Die cut Embellishing

I used my favourite banner die from Crealies to form a backdrop for the die cut sentiments. The banner was blended with ink and jazzed up with  rainbow glitter!
Embellished Die cut
I am going to use this as a New Year Greeting Card so added the "2019".

I hope you like this simple card.

Christmas Stars These  3 dimensional stars  were made with 6 squares of paper ,each measuring 12 cm[4 ¾ inches] and the complete star measures 6.5 inches.
