I made this card for both CC228 - Really Rust, Pretty in Pink and Not Quite Navy; and MMSC11 - what a great sketch from midnight madness...as always!!To create my background, I embossed the Flourished Ivy image from Innovative Stamp Creations with clear EP over very vanilla paper. I then brayered and sponged some Not quite Navy over the embossed flourishes.
My frame was created with my label 1 nestabilities. The butterflies were all heat embossed with black craft and clear EP on Grunge Paper, colored with a pale pink copic, cut out and then popped up on the card.
To finish off the card, I added a bit of pink ribbon with a cream half pearl, and the bottom of the card was punched with the border eyelet punch from SU.
Thanks so much for visiting today! Hope you have a wonderful day!
Connie

ReplyDeleteHi CONNIE :), your entry this week is just so beautiful..I really like the contrast of the white and blue..very eye catching..It all works perfectly.
