I made this card for my wonderful Mother in law, Judy. She is such a kind and giving person. She always has a kind word and is always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. I really hope she likes this card. I tried my hand at a couple of stamping techniques like masking and layering. I started out with designer paper from Websters pages. I liked the paper so much that I couldn't bear to cut it down to a regular card size to I kept it at 6 x 6 and just made the card base that size. Sense it wouldn't fit into any of the standard size envelopes that I had on hand, I just used my cricut to cut an envelope big enough for the card. Easy peasy. I also used the cricut for the focal piece. I used the Artiste cartridge from Close to My Heart. For the flowers on the focal piece I used a stamp set from Simon Says Stamp and various inks from Hero arts and Color Box chalk inks. The sentiment stamp is also from Close To My Heart. For the butterfly images on the designer paper I used a butterfly stamp set from Martha Stewart and for the smaller image I used a stamp set from Hot off the Press. I used some of my treasured vintage lace for the dark purple on bottom and then layered a bloomer like trim on top of that in a lighter purple.
That's it for my card today, thank you for stopping by to take a look. I will try and come back tomorrow with another card but I have alot on my calendar so we'll see. Hope you have a great afternoon. ttys, hugs, amyk
