Hello! I had so much fun participating in
Sketch Challenge 294 over at Split Coast Stampers that I thought I'd try it again! For this card I dug out some retired DSP that I've been hanging on to for years. While Stampin' Up! does offer DSP in
So Saffron they no longer offer it in the patterns that I have. I think I've been holding on to the paper for so long because I know once I use them up they're gone for good :(
The card base is 5 1/4"x5 1/4" and fits in the medium square envelope. It's hard to tell from the photo but the first layer of More Mustard was embossed with the swirl from the
Backgrounds #1 Texturz Plates set. These plates give a very faint embossed look - for a more prominent look spritz the card stock with water before running through the
Big Shot.
I should also mention that this is a very heavy card. The extra layers and ribbon give it some bulk and I'm sure that it would require extra postage to mail.

hi there, quick question for ya....i know that the butterfly is from the stamp set "great friends", but did you use a punch to cut it out or did you just cut it out by hand with a pair of scissors?? gorgeous card by the way!!

I cut it out with paper snips. It took a while but I think it was worth it!
