Sending my thanks

Hi Bloggers.

Hope you're enjoying the Creative Expressions Blog Hop. If you haven't joined in, you can start here.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I first stamped the large stamp from the Couture Creations Butterfly Notes 3 in 1 set twice using Cobalt Archival. I popped it through the Grand Calibur twice with the embossing folder from the set, lining it up with the stamped flower and butterfly each time. I added some Pearl Moon Gilding Wax over the embossed areas. I then stamped some notes and butterflies as shown, again using Cobalt Archival. I inked around the edges of the piece with Faded Jean Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the flower from the Creative Expressions Floral Silhouette Stamp Set using Cobalt Archival. I cut it out using Spellbinders Fancy Postage Edge and inked through the die with Faded Jeans.

I cut out the largest of the Spellbinders Fancy Ribbon Threader dies. At the emboss stage I added the embossing Folder from the Couture Creations Party Time 3 in 1 set. I threaded some Blue White American Seam Binding through the slits in the die cut. I tied a bow using 3 lengths of the same ribbon and added a Heart Dazzler.

I stamped the butterfly with the notes stamp twice more using Cobalt Archival. I cut one out using the butterfly die from the set and the other out using the top wings die from the set. I inked around the edges a little with Faded Jeans, shaped them and added them on top of the butterfly that was poking out of the ribbon threader die cut.

I assembled the card as shown adding some White Pearls to the corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Cosmic Pearl Pearlescent PVA around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
