This was a bit more labor intensive, and repetitive, as I used the new Anna Griffin folders that have the potential for interchangeable and die cut centers. I trimmed the cardstock to fit just the center, embossed the sentiment, then die cut that piece. I double-matted the piece and added the embellished butterfly. I did turn up the wings from the center for dimension but it could fold flat for mailing. The note card was embossed with the Modern Vines ef from Anna Griffin; the envelope flap done with the coordinating border. Again, the metallic shine may not be shown at its best, but I am very pleased with how this card took the ef: deep and dimensional, with no cuts on the card. USPS will love me with the mailing at the month's end! Diane

That paper is fabulous and what a beautiful embossing folder! The gold label with the sentiment is just perfect combined with the color in your butterfly. You matted it so perfectly too!
