Operation Write Home's Mid Week Throw Down challenge is create a card including Things with Wings.
Here is my offering:
Cheery Lynn butterfly die, Fiskars clear stamp and swirl texture plate, India Brights Papers, Recollections kraft paper base (lined of course!), gold leafing pen on the body and tentacles, scrap trim.
I had a major score at JoAnn's today. I have been drooling over some 5x7 paper pads of handmade papers from India. They feel like fabric, and have beautiful foiled patterns in unique colors. Problem? The papers are not 5x7, more like 3 3/4 x 5, not very card friendly. But they were tough to pass up at 70% off, and minus my 15% teacher discount!!! For $2.55, I can make them work. I bought 2 different pads. Yep, I need more paper like a hole in the head...
Oh my! Another gorgeous card! It's so fancy looking!
ReplyDeleteWe just keep telling ourselves, "you can never have enough paper." (or stamps, or embellies, or ribbon, or....
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card.
Hi, I'm Jen, and I love paper too. Come sit on the paper couch... I'll move a stack for you. :) Cool card!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty Bobbi! I love that gold swirl paper and the butterfly stands out so nicely against it. Great work!
ReplyDeleteGreat score on your buy of the week and on this card. A+ on both. This card is loaded with class, beautiful colors and that die piece is just gorgeous. Enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteFabulous card! I love the gold swirls. A great paper find! Treasures are meant to be found. :)
ReplyDeleteVery gorgeous! The gold is awesome. I love the added gold trim under it. It really makes the butterfly pop. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteTotally awesome card! Congratulations on your paper find. I'm going to look closer at that paper next time I shop JoAnns.
