Easy Peasy card today using the Couture Creations Ornate Frame 3 in 1 set -
I rubbed a Plum Archival ink pad all over the large stamp in the set (I did not want the colour to be dark) and stamped it onto some Milk Card. Then, using the ink pad in the usual way, I stamped 3 tiny butterflies. I made sure the ink was dry and then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the embossing folder from the set. I inked around the edges of the background with Seedless Preserves Distess Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.
I stamped the 2 largest butterflies using Plum Archival and cut them out using the dies in the set. I added some Seedless Preserves to the edges of the wings, shaped them and added them to the card as shown.
I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Gratitudes Stamp Set using Plum Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 28 and inked through the die with Seedless Preserves.
I tied a bow using 3 lengths of Blue White American Seam Binding and added a Clear Sparkler.
I assembled the card as shown adding a 5mm White Pearl in each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in White around the edges.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.
