Just wanted to share with you a card I made last evening for a few challenges that are posted for this week on several blogs.
I stamped the background with Dusty Concord DI and embossed with clear EP ,then sponged with Antique Linen DI. This was layered on lavender and yellow C/S . The butterfly image is from Just Rite Botanical Butterflies and was colored with Gamsol and coloring pencils. The edge was sponged with Dusty Concord DI. I used the Viva pearl pen to add pearls around the perimeter. The flower I made by cutting a spiral circle and then rolling it around a skewer.The bow was made with my bow maker.

Just Rite Friday Challenge#092--Make it POP

Well this week over at Just Rite Friday Challenge the Design Team is asking that we make a card and make it POP also it has to be a Birthday Card since it's Sheri Holts birthday  .  I decided to make an Easel card so I started out with a 6x12 piece of c/s for my base scored at 6"and 9". For the stand up (pop)piece I cut on my cricut using the Art Philosophy cutting each layer at 6, 53/4, 51/2. I think this is the most versatile cartridge that I have ever used and just love it . Once I attached the stand to the card base I fussy cut around the lower part . The doily is popped up with dimensionals as well as the labels twenty. I stamped the upper corners and fussy cut then popped them up .To finish my card I added a MS trellis border and lace to the center of my card . The inside was finished with matching papers and trim and the sentiment was popped up.

Supplies used:
Paper: Prima Almanac Collection 6x6 pad, Bazille c/s SU vaniila
Stamps: Just Rite Elegant Frames, SU Birthday verse..
Ink: Versafine onyx
Accessories: Cheery Lynn Italian Doily, Spellbinders labels 20 and labels 10, MS trellis border punch , MS double loop punch, pearls and lace from my stash .
