The theme for the Ways to Use It Challenge is ItÂ’s About Time! So I had to give it a try since I thought I had the perfect images & dies. The butterflies, background & flowers are also new & will be release tomorrow!
I even made mine a tad shabby..something I donÂ’t do often. My shabby was done w/ multiple embossings & sponging with Distress inks. The clock was first embossed w/ plain white powder, sponged, die cut then part of the new Belles Vinges was embossed w/ a sparkly, shabby white powder twice..once slightly offset (to add a little more shabby) onto a piece of ODBD Shabby Rose paper. Then I sponged the 3 colors of Distress inks over it. I combined the two greetings, embossed & sponged, then used a corner rounder & attached it to a white die cut tag. A white die cut vine, flowers & some embossed, sponged & die cut butterflies were added on top.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Oh, Julie, this is breathtaking! I would have to write a book to detail what I love about it - which is EVERYTHING!

I've always liked those ODBD time stamps - so glad to see them in the gallery this week since they're perfect for the challenge. And what a wonderful monochromatic card!!

Julie, this is amazing. I looked at the picture three times to try and figure out what you did - I want you to call me sometime to and totally explain it because I am in love with this card. Wow. It is just so lovely and so pretty. I am going to be doing some embossing this weekend for sure - I feel so inspired. Hugz
