CELEBRATE!

Good Afternoon!

It's harder and harder to find crafting time, but I managed to sneak in one little card Monday night.  Then it takes 2 more days to find time to post it.  WOW!

This will be entered into the Challenges at Penny Black, Anything Goes Add A Sentiment, Curtain Call, Celebrate and Tag You're It, 'Inspirational Photo'.

 
 
 
I was inspired by the butterfly, Baker's Twine and the bold white tag in the photo, complete with trail and stitching.  I started with some Wild Orchid card stock by Gina K Designs.....sooooo pretty!  Designer Paper is Si Bon!  by K & Company.  Sentiment is from For You by Penny Black, stamped in Wild Wasabi Ink.  MFT dies, Stitched Tag and Open Bracket Border.  EK Success Butterfly Trio punch, Martha Stewart Pop Up Hydrangea punch and Sizzix die, Branch With LeavesSwiss Dots Embossing Folder.         
 
 
Frame cut by hand.
 
Added accents; Eyelet, Baker's Twine, and Rhinestone Flourish, Brad for the center of the flower (which also holds the 3 layers together).  The top layer of the butterfly is cut from Vellum.
 
This card makes me HAPPY!
 
Thanks so much for stopping by.
 
Enjoy~~

  4. I am wild about your Wild Wasabi card! There is everything on it that you could possibly put. So hard to just name one. Butterflies, twine, brads, vellum die cut flowers,embossing folders and design paper. I can just imagine you in your craft room with paper flying everywhere! Out come this gorgeous creation. I have to give you the prize, you win!

  5. I love this so much!!! I think it's the color combo mostly, but also all the layered elements. I have said it many times, I don't know how you can put all that stuff on a card and make it look spectacular. That background paper is just gorgeous, so vintage-y!! You may not have much time to craft (nor do I these days) but you sure do do quality work when you get a minutes. This is just STUNNING!!!!
