Happy Friday, everyone and welcome to the last week of April and our Freebie Friday post! This post is special because we are not only sharing with you how to make these fun little flowers, but we are also sharing one of our NEW digi stamps that we introduced on our Paper Fashions, Etc. blog earlier this month AND, that's not all. We are offering a FREE digi download if you visit our new blog, leave us a comment here and tell us what you like best or something you would like to see us add. Be sure to leave your email in your comment so we can send the FREE digi stamps.
Today, we are going to share with you step-by-step details on how to make these easy peasy pansies!
First gather your supplies: card stock, Stampin' Up! butterfly punch, ink, sponge daubers, Crystal Effects, brads, black marker
Next, punch two butterflies and add yellow to the center of each.
Then, sponge around the outside of the butterflies with whatever color you would like. (For the card, we used Concord Crush.)
Once you have sponged these two, lay them on top of each other and add a black brad in the center. Draw black lines on the "flower" to create the pansy look. We have done the sample below with long lines and the card above uses smaller lines. We like both so you choose your favorite.
Now, add Crystal Effects with a brush lightly.
Let dry and add to your card. The Crystal Effects really adds a lot to the flower. We have also included the previously shown pansy card from earlier. These are such a fun flower! Enjoy!
Don't forget to visit Paper Fashions Etc. and leave us a comment for your free digi stamp! If you would like to see the what the free digi stamp is and a small card we made with it, just visit here. Thanks for stopping! Melissa & Gayla
I'm loving all the samples on your Paper Fshions, Etc. blog. I have done digital scrapbooking, but that's about it. It's always nice to see how other's creative juices flow!

I love all of your altered and 3-D projects -- and your creative ways of using stamps and papers in alternative ways. I've never tried digital stamping and this will be my start! Thanks!
