Thank You

Happy March!  It's getting closer to Spring, although we are expecting a snowstorm tomorrow night into Monday!  At least with the cold weather and not going out as much, it's giving me plenty of time to craft!  There are so many new things from PTI that I've been playing with!

One of my new favorites set is Be Happy!  I'll admit, this isn't something I'd typically buy, but after seeing all the cards that Melissa Bickford made with this set, I was convinced I needed it!

For this card I used white cardstock for the base.  I added another layer of white impressed with my Linen Impression Plate.  I die-cut the butterflies in blue and green and stamped them in coordinating ink (hard to see in the photo).  I die-cut the butterfly centers and also stamped them with coordinating ink.  The butterflies are adhered with foam tape.  I cut a strip of Lemon Tart cardstock and stamped the sentiment on it in black.

For the top of the card I used Card Edgers to create the scalloped look.  I die-cut the little flower, stamped it in yellow ink and placed it on foam tape, adding a small gem to the center.
