It is somewhat "outside the box" for me to do a card without dark mats separating the layers - but, here goes! The embossed frame does have a bit of white ink - which I applied directly to the folder. The Garden Collage (SU) image is sponged with lavender and pink chalk. I used an aqua brush and Twinkling H20 for the butterfly, and applied stickles for some sparkle. The strip is a sheer floral ribbon, and I tied the sentiment (CTMH) with some shiny cord - used glue and glitter to create a jewel to keep the cord tied. The butterfly is CCDesigns. It is cut from a scrap of scrolly pink paper from my recycle box - think it came from an ad. The corners are punched with a Martha Stewart corner punch. This card will go to the recipient for this week's SCS TeaPot Tuesday challenge.
Included for challenges: soft colors, butterflies, flowers (on ribbon and part of the image); CB Scrollworks EF available from Joan's Gardens shop, embossing (cuttlebug), ribbon, sentiment, punch, die cut
My apologies: this blog is not cooperating this morning. I will return and try to fix it.
