I needed a quick January Birthday card and my stock of feminine cards was getting pretty low.
This was a fast and simple card done with die cuts, white ink pad, stamped individual letters for the sentiment, pearls, and layered or glittered hand-made flowers. I started with a black scrap of CS and layered on the green die cut (Memory Box.) I used one of my very old, hand punches (maker unknown) to punch out the butterfly shapes from the black CS.
I dug through my flower petal dies (Spellbinders, Sizzix, Memory Box) and scrap papers, looking for different texture and shades of white. I chose mulberry paper, glittered CS, and watercolor paper, then die cut each of those a couple of times. My flower dies also emboss the petals so that added to the texture of the layers.
I found several loose half-pearls in my stash and used those for the centers of the flowers. I found my white ink pad and two sets of individual alphabet stamps (which allowed me to mix and match for my sentiment.)
The final embellishment touch was the row of black pearls along the sentiment.
