I apologize for the delay in posting another card. I have less time than I thought.
I really liked this card when it was finished. Again I saw a similar card on another blog from 2009, created by Kathy Jones.. I used the CS Mellow moss as my base. Then I layered it with White and Bashful blue. I took the blue through the Polka Dots CB embossing folder. Then I used another smaller sheet of white CS on top of that with a Pool party designer paper from SU layered in top.. My focal picture was a stamp by Skipping Stones- Butterfly Kisses. I applied SU markers in Cameo Coral and Wild wasabi to the stamp and then stamped my image. Soft sky was sponged around the edges after cutting the white piece out with Nestabilities circles sm. and scallops sm. I love butterflies as it shows in my cards, so I added a butterfly from the same stamps set, coloring it in Summer Sun and a med. grey marker for the tail marks. I used a neat corner die from Cheery Lynn for the corner and added a pink pearl. Then with the help of my CB, after using my greeting of Happy birthday from Endless Creations stamp, I cut it out with the Nestie Rectangle die and scallop die. I think I cut out my small butterfly with a MS punch and colored it with summer sun and used the grey marker on it for dimension. I also sponged around the edges with summer sky.
I like the inside to match the front, so I embossed another sheet of Bashful blue CS and used my small circle die again for my sentiment base. I used the same stamp but only a part of it. My sentiment was a stamp by PrintWorks. I like to add a verse of scripture, so I used one from PrintWorks clearly Defined.
Thanks for stopping by......
