Thinking of You and Shades of Blue

Hello and Happy Saturday!  I hope your day was great and you found some crafty time, as for me...I found some time to create a card featuring shades of Blue, Vines, Florals and Butterflies.


My card features a gorgeous stamped and die cut Butterfly from the Gina K. Designs "Beautiful Butterflies" stamp and coordinating die sets.  After heat embossing the butterflies, I added color with diluted Distress Inks.  I dry embossed an uneven snippet of card with my Brand New "Enchanting Vines" 3-D embossing folder by Altenew and lightly added Faded Jeans Distress Inks to bring out the Vine pattern even more.  

The Florals are dimensional die cuts, with 2 layers popped on foam pads along with the Butterfly wing tips.  The sentiment is from the "Beautiful Butterflies" stamp set and lastly, I added faux white pearls as a butterfly trail.  

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Donna

  3. I love the background and gorgeous flowers. I think you are using the Die Cut Divas Tic Tac Toe choices of embossing, Friendship and the color blue. So glad you joined us at Die Cut Divas for our Tic Tac Toe challenge.

  4. This is so pretty and dreamy and such a beautiful bloom along with the Butterfly. Your nautical creation with the gulls makes for a very calm scene.

    It's lovely to see you at We Love Chocolate Baroque challenge this month. And so nice to see you are interested in joining our DT, but wondering if you checked the entry requirements about using CB stamps?
