Stamp Act: Featured Stamper Sunday ~ FS98 ~ Paula......

Hi Ya!
I was able to do a little stamping today!!!! My card today is for SCS' featured stamper ~ Paula. The card of Paula's that I chose to CASE is HERE! You will definitely be able to see what I changed when you see my card here ~

The base of my card is Shimmery cardstock. My first mat is a cocoa color of cardstock by Bazzill then Chocolate Chip and then THIS awesome decorative paper from Webster's Pages. The strip across the center is Vellum cardstock. I didn't want to cover up the decorative paper because it is SO beautiful. I used my Janome sew mini to stitch around the edges using brown thread. I used THIS Spellbinders Pierceabilities die for the butterfly along the bottom. To get the brown butterfly in the center, I layed the die on top of Chocolate cardstock, pierced around the butterfly and then cut it out. I added some lavender crystals to the center of the butterfly, bent the wings up a little and used a glue dot to adhere it.

The brown felt ribbon is from SU! as is the Eggplant grosgrain. The sentiment is from THIS Verve set called Beautiful You WHICH I might add is on sale!!! LOL!!! I stamped it using Chocolate Chip ink on Vellum cardstock, cut it out using my oval Nesties, matted it with the same Websters Pages decorative paper that was cut the same size using the Nesties again and then matted them both on top of a Chocolate Chip oval. The ribbons are under the oval pieces and then under the ribbons I cut another oval but scalloped this time using Perfect Plum cardstock. I added some of the lavender crystals to the top right and on the oval sentiment.

I hope you all are having a great weekend! Hopefully I will be back tomorrow!! Thank you for stopping by!!!
