Butterfly Wings

Hi Bloggers.

Phill Martin is back on Create & Craft today at 8am and 2pm. Hope you have the time to join him. I'm up at Creative Expressions HQ today running a couple of workshops - should be a lovely day.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I ran a piece of Milk Card through the Grand Calibur with the Checkerboard PinPoint Embossing Folder. I popped a little Gold Cosmic Shimmer Shimmer Paint onto my Craft Sheet. I picked some up onto a piece of Cut n Dry Foam and rubbed it over the embossed surface.

I stamped the image from the Justrite Butterflies Stamp Set onto Rich Plum Card using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Gold Detail Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Sue's Decorative Frames Die Set from the Italian Collection. I cut a mat out of Vintage Gold Card using the largest 2 dies in the same set. I cut the largest die in the Tuscany Die Set out of Rich Plum Card.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set, using Perfect Medium and embossed with Gold Detail Powder. I cut it out using the smallest die in the Cordoba die set.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
