Today I'm sharing another card I've made, recycling one of the vintage and outdated cards given to me by a friend who found a small box of them at a yard sale. This one turned into a delightful feminine birthday card.
I fussy cut the inside corner of the card and used it as the focus image, adding some punched, colored with ProMarker, then beaded, flowers along the edge. I ran the front of the card base through my "Linen" embossing folder. I used the folder without using the rubber embossing pad in the 'sandwich'. That's one of my favorites ways to use it because the embossing is always so subtle.
The double butterfly was made using die cut butterflies, dimensional dots, and a gemstone. Finally, I used white ink to stamp the sentiment and called it finished.

Today would be a great day to stay in and craft but I have things to do out there in the great big world so the crafting will have to wait until tomorrow afternoon. Hope your week is going well. Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
My inspiration came mostly from the photo in
the challenge at Always Playing with Paper.
