I'm having so much fun stamping in the Dare to Get Dirty Challenges! This is for Kittie747's challenge. I'm also loving using up goodies from my stash! I had this inked and embossed piece for the bg (can't find that ef in my cave anymore...I hope it didn't find its way into the trash by mistake) I also had the faux denim bg piece that you can barely see anymore. The pansies were some I made a while back using ideas from this tutorial from Valita's Designs. Mainly uses reinkers, an Aqua pen and the butterfly punch. Dimension is added using a stylus and I also rolled my edges a bit along the edge of my piercing tool. The leaves are folded in half and crimped on the bias then punched while still folded. I popped one on a dimensional and another on a thicker foam circle. I added a tag and a ribbon with a fork bow.

Gail, this is so pretty! Thanks so much for the link to Valita, I borrowed that punch and did about 100 last year. They sit in a zip lock.....til now! Lol. Thanks for the inspiration. Love your tips on the leaves too, now to find the crimper.... Beautiful work!

Gail, those butterflies turned into pansies is so creative. What a gorgeous card. That big yellow bow is perfect. Thanks so much for playing in my challenge.

Your pansies are so pretty - I haven't made those in a couple of years and I need to dig out my butterfly punch and make some more! That embossed bg is so pretty - hope you find your folder!
