What a thrill! A number of us were asked to participate in Flourishes customer Birthday Blog. For this challenge we were to use our favourite stamp set. You try to choose your favourite set!!!
I chose "Lenten Rose" because in our city this is the first flower to bloom toward the end of January. It is the most curious rose/brown colour and is a welcome relief from our dreary winter days.
Flourishes Lenten Rose stamp
Flourishes Fanciful Flourishes (butterfly embellishment)
The image was coloured with copics. The butterfly is stamped and embossed on velum and a row of tiny pearls added.
When you check back over to Flourishes to view the other cards go to their shop and check out this awesome ribbon I bought there. It's the crinkle ribbon and it ties like you wouldn't believe - so crisp.

Oh, Elizabeth, this couldn't be any more gorgeous! The card is so very elegant and exquisite. Your coloring of the lenten rose is perfect and that beautiful ribbon and butterfly are the perfect touches. Remarkable!!
