I had so much fun making 60 ATC (altered trading cards) as "Thank You" notes to some of the volunteers in our church.
This is not all of them, but you can see, I had a lot on the go ! Here is a close-up of one of them.
I stamped the leaves once, then without re-inking, stamped them again. I added the butterfly and the sentiment, and then ran it all through the Big Shot to emboss on the flowers. Didn't seem finished enough to me, so I used some of the Champange Shimmer Paint to dot the flower centers and the butterfly body. I really enjoyed it, and honestly, it only took about 1/2 and hour !! The longest part was the embossing, and it was not biggie at all. These would make great business cards, as well, if you stamp your information on the back. Have fun and happy stamping !!
I for got to say I just mailwed them out to 3 diff groups i belong to and the people that I through would like it or send back I was so pround of my self, when I was done so I know how you felt when you was done with your thank you ATC's in joy.

Thanks for posting! When we follow a blogger, we get to feeling they are like family; and when we don't hear from them for awhile, we get to worrying. Now don't be feeling guilty, we know how busy you must be!
