Knowing You

Hi Bloggers.

Red, white and blue again today. What a great sentiment on this one - it's from the Creative Expressions Natures Sentiments Stamp Set.

For the background I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Seedling Nouveau Embossing Folder. I popped it through a second time to extend the pattern. I inked round the edges with Barn Door Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the sentiment using Cobalt Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using the smallest of the Spellbinders Decorative Ovals One dies and inked through the die with Barn Door.

I cut a circle out of cobalt card using the smallest of the Spellbinders Decorative Grand Circles One dies. At the emboss stage I added the Butterfly Frame Mask.

I cut a butterfly using the Spellbinders Les Papillon die set. I cut a solid butterfly out of red card and the corresponding lacy one out of cobalt card. They fit on top of each other perfectly. I glued then together just at the body using Cosmic Shimmer Glue.

I tied a bow using the white sheer dots ribbon and added a Red Zipper Rose.

I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Berry Red.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
