Today’s card is for Really Reasonable Ribbon and Operation Write Home’s challenges. All the details on the challenges after we see the card.
I have another new toy! This is a coordinating stamp and embossing folder from Sizzix and Hero Arts. The stamp is A2 size and has an open center for your choice of sentiment. The Sizzix embossing folder matches the little flowers and embosses them.
This is a close up of the flowers, but I’m not sure if you can see the embossing.
I colored the flowers with Tombow markers, stamped the sentiment from Inspired by Stamping, punched 8 flowers and stacked them to make the flower, used the Herol Arts/Sizzix stamp & die-cut set Butterflies #3 to make the butterfly, and used seam binding from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
I finished this off with rhinestones on all of the flower centers and the butterfly antennae.
Thanks for stopping by!
