Hi! This card was made for today's Free 4 All Challenge: Show Us What Ya Got-Use something BRAND NEW, still in the Package AND... for Speedy's Friends Challenge to use a die cut...AND this week's Stampin' B's Challenge Dots!
Well...I used SEVERAL brand new still in the package items today! We just got in our Speedy the Cat EMBOSSING POWDERS! I used Detail Copper for the Frame and Flourish on the card. (I stamped them in VersaMark and embossed.) AND...Our BRAND NEW STILL IN THE PACKAGE Speedy the Cat half pearls.....AND our BRAND NEW Lace that comes in our new Premium Paper Craft Pack: Vintage Days.
The butterfly was stamped in Adirondack Espresso and colored in with the red Memento Marker and an Aqua Painter. I used our Premium Colored Pencil Paper, and it worked GREAT! (I didn't soak the paper, so it didn't pill up or anything!)
Finished Card Size: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Total time to complete: 38 minutes
Accessories: Mark's Finest Papers: LACE, Speedy the Cat's Half Pearls, Sheer ribbon Tools:Speedy the Cat's Embossing Powder, punch, Spellbinders, Memento markers, Scor It All for the bottom embossed line
