Today, I have a card to share that I made for the Fusion #4 Challenge:
I was totally inspired by the colourful butterflies on the pink background
with the white leaves around the edges.
I don't have any butterfly stamps,
so I decided to get creative and use my Wplus9 Fanciful Feathers stamps
to make a butterfly.
I stamped the same feather four times, masking off the middle.
Then, I fussy cut it out by hand.
For my background, I stamped some PTI Turning a New Leaf leaves around the edges
of my sweet blush cardstock and heat embossed them in white.
The sentiment is also from Fanciful Feathers -- I just love this font!
I'm linking this card up to Wplus9's Birthday Celebration Week 3: Trend Watch,
because I used a hand lettering sentiment stamp & some enamel dots.
Thanks for looking!
What a great improvisation. It's beautiful.
