Once again, I'm participating in the Papertrey Ink Blog hop.
This month's challenge is...
I decided to use my brand new Life is Beautiful stamps & dies,
along with my Chevron Stripes, to make my card.
I stamped the chevrons in Versamark & heat embossed them in white.
Then, with my Tim Holtz blending tool, I added some aqua mist & hawaiian shores ink.
I die cut the butterfly from Melon Berry card stock and inked it in Melon Berry ink around the edges.
I stamped my sentiment in aqua mist, cut it out and adhered it to the butterfly,
using some dimensional adhesive for the "beautiful".
Some Pretty Pink Posh 4mm & 6mm Marshmallow sequins finish it off.
Thanks for looking!
