Stash buster!

I had a huge stroke of luck and won in Denise's blog candy, and here's what the post boy delivered yesterday:

I think my stash just tripled in size! The Basic Gray -paperpad is just fab + the coordinating brads, but how do I dare to use such fancy stuff? Newbie-problem, huh... "I got this really COOL thing, but I just save it and look at it, 'cause it's so COOL!" Note that I have some sock yarn in the same tradition... *snicker*

Dear Denise also owns WhimsyStamps -online stamping store :)

Anyway, the Stampin' Up -butterfly kit is marvelous - it took me a while to realize how great it is though. When I was assembling it, I figured the layering options, and here's what I stamped just to try them out (clicky on the picture to be able to zoom in):

Subsequent colors are shown above - the background layer is stamped with the Marvy Le Plumes and the top layer with Distress inks. Now I just need to cut them out (ouch...) :)

Thank you Denise! <3
