This card includes 4 separate borders - three from the Frills set and one from the Just My Type Set. Although they are easy to use, I found out very soon that it takes extra caution to get them lined up straight - I used tape to secure them. The embossed lines you see framing the sentiment were done on the Scor-Pal. I embossed all elements at once then with my stampajig lined up the lines of text from my sentiment stamp. I used Fabriano Acquerello Watercolor paper for the base card and embossing; it is popped up on coral shimmery cardstock from The Paper Company. The header border is punched from the Martha Stewart Scallop Punch (this one might be my favorite) and it is done on both sides to break up the monotony of the square card. Lastly, the butterfly is made from another Cuttlebug set that cuts, then embosses the butterfly - how cool is that!!
Although the details are listed here, there is much more detailed info and closeups on my blog. The entry for this card is here:

This is gorgeous. Well, back to the Cuttlebug store for me! I saw these borders the other day and didn't like them. You just have to see them done up right to realize their potential.

You got that right. I was not going to get any of them but these cards that you are doing is making up my mind for me. They do have real potential! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. TFS!!!

I'm patiently waiting for my order from Oh My Crafts. My order included both seasonal and Release #4, so I have to wait. Your card is beautiful, and I'm eager to try those new borders. Eileen
