I made this card for today's FS135 casing this Soothing by LMcAree at Splitcoaststampers of Lori McAree's. She has such an exceptional gallery and a lot of gorgeous CAS cards but this one caught my eye. I changed my colors, embossing folder, and image and kept the layout and the idea of the butterflies. I also added some sewing, ribbon, and pearls.
The stamps used were Sweet N Sassy's- Special Women and I created a background sentiment panel behind it (SSNOTIME103- stamp an image over your sentiment) with the SU Bloomin Beautiful set.
The embossing folder is the Cuttlebug Lots of Leaves. I used the mega curved rectangles for cutting out the image panel. The butterflies were embossed With Jeweled Gold embossing powder from Stampendous as were the edges around the card and image.
Thanks for a great challenge Beth!! What an excellent featured stamper choice.

This is amazing Chris. I just love the stitching on it. I have tried that stitch and it is tough to do on paper. Really awesome detail. Doesn't get any better than this..
