This card id for the WT532 challenge "Red & White" - Cathy challenged us to use only red and white on our projects in honor of the Red Cross, and dedicated the gallery to Anne Harmon (jdmommy). If you've been on SCS very long, you know that Anne's favorite color is red!
I thought I would play with one of my new Anna Griffin embossing folders. The folder is actually 5x7, we won't talk about why my card ISN'T, okay? After embossing the heavy cs, I inked up my brayer with Memento Luxe Love Letter ink and went over the embossed piece several times. It was pretty, but it needed something. I painted over parts of the raised areas with a red Wink of Stella brush pen and was much happier with it. I used the MISTI to help me stamp the sentiment exactly where I wanted it, and added Wink of Stella to the word "thanks" also.
I matted the layer with red cs and adhered the layer directly to the card front with Sookwang tape. I thought about using a flower die cut for embellishment, but finally decided to go with the butterfly.
Anne, I hope you like my addition to the gallery!
As always, "thank you ever so much" for looking!

The patience you have to go over the embossed areas is mind boggling! The die cut butterfly looks wonderful over your ornate background! What a steady hand you must have to add the red to outline the framing in read! Super gorgeous card!
