Morning all! I hope everyone had a lovely weekend! Today's card is an easy simple design showcasing the Justrite stamps and dies. I started by embossing a piece of white card with the
Large Vintage Girl embossing folder by Couture Creations. It is difficult to see in the first pic, but you can catch it in the close up pics. It has a natural oval in the centre that I have added
flatback pearls to in order to accentuate it. I have also added pearls to the ends of the swirls, although they do look a bit random in this pic. I stamped the
Vintage Winged Labels three stamp (by Justrite) in
black archival on
blush card and cut it out with the matching dies to create a frame. I stamped my sentiment on white card but added a touch of
Spun Sugar around the edges. I mounted my frame over it with mounting foam pieces. I added it to the centre of my embossed background, allowing the edges of the pearled oval embossing to peek out. I used the
Wonderful Wings die set to cut a couple of butterflies for my card. One out of
blush card and one out of black glitter card. I adhered them in opposite corners and added some
small pearls to their bodies as accents. I used a thin black mat on each section and I matted my centre focal piece on blush card that I scored around the edges several times. Finally I finished the card by adding a double white pierced mat. Definitely more of a girlie type card! Finished dimensions are 7" x 9" in size. All for now, Sue x
This is a very elegant card, just lovely.

Good morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card to start the week with. I love the combination of white, pink and black as it is striking just the right balance for me. I think today i will have a go at this one as my daughter wants a card for her mentor at the hospital as a leaving/thank you card. I was thinking of making a butterfly card last night, so i think you must have read my mind.
Have a great day and see you tomorrow.
Love and crafty hugs

ReplyDeleteDear Sue
ReplyDeleteSorry this is another late post.
I really like this card Sue. The card has so much to look at though it seems simple at first glance, the more you look the more you see! Great!
I really love butterflies so this is a winner for me.
It's a shame the embossing folder doesn't show up well in the main image as it looks nice from the close ups, it's so difficult to photograph a card to get everything to show up well I've found. Your close ups do the trick though.
The pearls looks lovely around in oval aperture style around the sentiment.
Best wishes from Katie-Louise sweetlove
I love this card, so clean and fresh and the butterflies are fab.
