Joan's beautiful sample for the day rescued my from a mojo deficit - this is a shameless CASE of this card: TLC528 Happy Birthday by joan ervin at Splitcoaststampers is needed for my (hopefully) DIL to be Sarah.
I cut a mask from a soda can and traced the upper right edge lightly in pencil, then stamped the butterfly straddling the line. Re-placed the mask (I use washi to hold it in place) and filled in with my under-used RST stamps in the various inks and Versamark. Clear embossed all yeilding a mille-fleur like effect. Cut a heart shim from chipboard and used the double embossing technique to add texture. Added the ribbon and sentiment, rounded the lower corners and mounted all to a Marina Mist card. PT - 3
As Sarah and Jeffrey are U Wisconsin students - GO Badgers!! Thank you Joan for the inspiration. Thank you all for looking and have a peaceful day.

So pretty! It always surprises me how much embossed backgrounds, well, even stamped backgrounds, add to a piece. But your cluster stamping is beautiful of and by itself.
