Hello-
I got a wonderful surprise in the mail from my friend Hilary. Its a stamp and die set from Uniko, Butterflies. She also has the set so we decided to do joint posts today each using the set to make our cards.
I used only the small butterfly image, stamped and embossed on vellum in silver. I die cut them and also backers for the vellum in the turquoise/aqua card stock I used as the base. They were layered up and I added similar color pearls over the "body". I added layers of silver and the turquoise/aqua card stock to create the focal panel.
I also silver embossed the sentiment included in the set "Butterflies drift in the gentle breeze in and English country garden.
Please go visit Hilary to see what I am sure will be a beautiful card here.
Thanks so much for visiting!

Look at that gorgeous silver and turquoise! The embossing is very crisp on the vellum. Pretty with the scattered pearls and really lovely sentiment.
