This week's challenge is for anything feminine....ribbons, pearls, etc. Supplies are: Rose Red Cardstock (SU). The paper is unknown as it was stuck in a drawer for a long time and no company on the back. It is light pink, dark pink and some medium green shades. The largest butterfly is collaged by using Kelly Panocci Valentine Emphemera and then putting it through the Big Shot using an embossing folder. Versamark Ink and Clear Embossing Powder were heated and repeated creating the glossy finish to the large butterfly. Next I attached 'Pretties' pearls and the 'pin' and beads (Stampin Up). The second smaller butterfly is clear embossing ink on vellum with white embossing powder (using heat). Next I antiqued it with pink and green chalk and sprayed a small amount of 'Shimmer' over top. The butterfly small stamp is by Ellen Vener/Village Arts Press. The 'Vintage' stamp is by Hampton Art Stamps. The ribbon is 'Rose Red' by SU. Misc. Supplies: Sti

Just want to say 'Happy Mother's Day to you all....thanks for taking time to stop by here. The instructions are a little late and I apologize for that...but here they are: Cut 'vanilla' card-stock to measure 10 1/2" by 5 1/2". Fold in half to make the card base. Cut a piece of DSP (I used Baha Breeze Patterns by Stampin Up) 5 1/4" by 5 1/4". Use a punch to round the corners on both the card base and the paper piece you just cut. Adhere the paper to the front of the card. This is the first layer. Next I cut a piece of 'vanilla' 5" by 5" and also one 4" by 4". These two pieces are both punched around the corner and edges with the Martha Stewart 'Daisy Fan' punches. Next I used a square die and cut the center out of each one.....to leave a 'window' (2 1/2" by 2 1/2"). Sponge edges with ' Baja Breeze' SU ink. These layers are both attached with pop-up dots. The next layer is a Spellbind
