Happiness

 Hi bloggers!  Today's card is actually a remake of an old card that I originally made in pink and grey.  The card was lost (or rather permanently misplaced!) but I really liked it and wanted to show it for my last set of shows.  I decided that it would be fun to re-do the card with some minor changes but in a totally different colour scheme.  I chose a vintage brown palette for the newer version.  I was very pleased with the outcome.  I stamped my sentiment on decorative paper using a coffee archival pad.  I used the corner from the Heartfelt Butterfly border set and cut it four times to create a frame for the sentiment.  The corners will link together nicely since they have "holding hands" on each side.  I made three of the Bitty Blossoms in differing sizes out of decorative paper and added a few leaves.  I used a couple of different decorative papers for the background and added some cream guipure lace as an accent.  In the upper corner, I cut a couple of butterflies out of different papers and stacked them atop each other.  Three flatback pearls were added to the body as an accent.  I finished the card with some Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue dots in Choco brown to give the card a real vintage feel.  If you recall the original, let me know which you prefer.  All for now, Sue x
