I am so excited to have an extra day off tomorrow! I don't have to get up early ~ YAY!!!! I made the card I am going to share with you for today's featured stamper ~ Julie Lacey. Her gallery is absolutely beautiful! The card I chose to CASE is HERE. Here is my card ~
The colors I chose to use were also inspired by Julie's gallery. The base of this card is Whisper White with a mat of Chocolate Chip and then a mat of Kraft. The center panel is, from the bottom up, Chocolate Chip, Kraft and then a decorative Kraft striped piece from the SU! hostess pack from last year. The next piece is first Chocolate Chip card stock and then a decorative piece of Chocolate Chip from last Winter's Ski Slope collection. The image is from Bloomin' Beautiful and was stamped on Whisper White card stock using Chocolate Chip ink. I colored using a blender pen and Always Artichoke and Purely Pomegranate ink pads. I stamped the flower and the leaves a second time, colored them, cut them out and then mounted them on top of the first image using dimensionals. The white ribbon is by May Arts and the Pomegranate ribbon is from SU! I pierced the butterfly (MS punch) trail using THIS pierceabilities die. I added MS clear rhinestones to the centers of the butterflies. The sentiment is from Verve's Artful Elegance set and was stamped on the Kraft using Chocolate Chip ink.
I added Pixie Dust Shimmerz to the flower, here is a close up ~
Doesn't the Shimmerz look beautiful??? I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend and don't forget about my Give-a-way HERE!
Thank you for stopping by!
