Thank you for visiting my blog! I am really excited to be participating in Kylie Bertucci's Top Ten Winners Hop, and am honoured to once again be in a group with some very talented designers from all over the world. Thanks to your votes, my card came in #2!! In case you haven't seen it, I have posted it at the bottom of this blog entry.
This was a quick and easy card to make! I started with an 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" Rococo Rose card base, scored at 4-1/4". I added a 4" x 5-1/4" layer of Rococo Rose which had been embossed with our Painted Texture 3D embossing folder, and adhered it with Seal. A piece of Rococo Rose Hydrangea Hill Mercury Glass Designer Acetate was cut with the largest Stitched So Sweetly scalloped rectangle die, and adhered it to the Rococo Rose layer with Seal+ (this doesn't show through the acetate). I cut a 1/2” slit in the fold of the card with my paper trimmer, inserted a 16" piece of Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle ribbon through the slit, and tied it into a bow at the right side.
The sentiment (from the Simply Succulents stamp set) was stamped in Rococo Rose, and then diecut with one of the Potted Succulents stitched label dies (I love the dies in this set!) and popped up with Dimensionals. Three Basic Rhinestone gems give the card a bit of bling.
The beautiful butterfly is die cut from our Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper. This, sadly, has sold out--but don't worry, you can stamp and die cut these with the bundle! It was attached with liquid glue (on the body only), so that the wings could lift up from the paper.
An easy-peasy card, right?
Here is my card that was voted #2 in Kylie Bertucci's International Highlights Blog Contest (this card uses the large background die from our Potted Succulents dies):

DeleteBeautiful! I love every detail! I never would have thought to use the embossing folder and acetate together.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, Julie! Funny thing—I wouldn't have either! I originally did the card without embossing the mat, and it looked naked, so I tried embossing the layer, and I thought it looked better. ��
