Hi everyone.
Today's post is for the Paper Players theme challenge - "Birds, Bees, Flowers & Trees" - however I'm still trying to figure out if Spring has really arrived yet.
I don't really have any flower sets from the summer mini that would work for this challenge, so I went to one of my very favorite sets "Four Frames", and that gorgeous "Paisley Petals" DSP that will be available in the new IBC and here is my card.
One of the things I LOVE about this DSP is that it does all the work for you. I think it's just gorgeous. I cut a piece of DSP and matted it with marina blue cs. Then wrapped a piece of cherry cobbler seam binding before adding to the card base.
I stamped the sentiment on WW in cherry cobbler and punched it out with the decorative label punch. A second label was punched out of cherry cobbler to mat the sentiment and popped it up with dimensionals centered on the seam binding.
Then I added a few butterflies in cherry cobbler and marina blue that were made with the butterfly embosslit. I added to the front and label with tom bow and embellished each with a sweet pearl body.
The inside was finished with another piece of DSP. Easy peasy Done!
Hootie says " Hoot Hoot Hooray...Thanks for stopping by today!
Please leave a comment with your thoughts; I hope you will stop by again!"
