(I believe the bottom panel measurements are a little off, but you get the general picture!) So, here we go:
I used papers from October Afternoon’s Thrift Shop as well as Cosmo Cricket’s Joy Ride and SU’s Old Olive Patterns. I stamped my sentiment from CHF on a tag from SU’s Lots of Tags dies, then layered it on another tag that I trimmed to fit, and embellished it with a glittery butterfly from the Beautiful Wings diecut:
In addition, I stamped the swirl from Season of Joy with Versamark and embossed it with Iridescent Ice embossing powder….it may be a little difficult to see here, but IRL it gives it a special glimmery effect:
My card also qualifies for the City Crafter Challenge 24, Flower & Frills!! This was a fun card to make, thanks to Donna’s sketch and Barbara’s colors----now let’s see what you can create! Hop on over to the CTD blog and play along with us. Now here are links to the other CTD designers:
