This is my first upload ever so I hope I'm doing this correctly. Here it goes! I made these for Cards for a Cause for May. I wanted to make them kind of generic so they could be used for almost any occasion so I didn't stamp a sentiment on them. I used ivory CS for the base then added blue shimmer CS, then an embossed ivory frame with a layer of floral vellum over that. I punched a scalloped square, added more ivory and a butterfly. I used a crimper to add some texture with the blue shimmer CS and finished with some pearls.
Thanks for looking!

Aww, Donna, what a gorgeous card!! It is so neat to see someone who uses a lots of their resources to create with - your crimper, your embossing folders, love that flowered vellum, your butterfly and the delicate pearls - I do the same thing and leave off the sentiment till I know what I 'll need a card for - smart idea!! Keep up the beautiful work!!

Oh what a lovely card Donna. I like all the textures and the soft colors along with the embossing. The colored vellum is so pretty. Congratulations on your first upload. Hope to see more of you in the galleries.
