I am absolutely smitten by this gorgeous card by atomicbutterfly: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers I just had to CASE it. I love shadowbox effects, so this is what I came up with for it. The frame part is on double dimensionals, and the Dogwood blossoms are on single dimensionals.
I stamped the flowers in Stazon Timber Brown on cardstock vellum, colored on the back with markers. I stamped them again on white cardstock, ran the vellum image through my xyron and then adhered it over the cardstock image and cut it out with my paper snips. I adhered the microbeads over a small dab of Crystal Effects and applied yellow stickles over the top.
This is a birthday card for a dear friend's very elegant mother who loves flowering Dogwood trees.

Hi there! I like the layout and I'm going to case it for my daughter's First Communion. I was wondering what you embossed with your cuttlebug: vellum or whispering white. Thanks, Sandra
This card is beautiful. Your cutting is perfect-as is everything else about this card! It would be beautiful on my desk in my kitchen! If someone sent it to me it would go on permanent display.

Oh wow, Linda, this is really stunning! I love the soft colors and the off-center layout. Great dimension too. I'm sure your friend's mother will treasure this piece. TFS!
