Swirls...And Butterflies...

For the third time in a row I have shown you another card with my Marriane Designs Folder. I've been having a good time with the new folder from Marianne Design called Swirls DS0907. I got carried away here with the little glittered swirls I had on hand and added embossed roses that were colored with my chalk inks.  I took the Marianne folder and after embossing and cutting it I used my Spellbinders Nestabilities Die called Labels Twenty and cut the bottom half to form a nice scalloped edge to it.  Adding and cutting two other layers of scalloped edges with the Spellbinders Labels Twenty helped this card to look quite interesting.  Adding pearls, lace and three little butterflies from vellum  added a soft effect.  Again, no room on this card for any bow? 

This picture does not show the glimmer and glitter of the precut swirls I added

to this card.  But, I wanted to give you another look from another angle and

different lighting  even thought the glitter does not show up here.

Until next time have fun stamping. And I hope you have a sunny week?

Blessings to all.... &

Get Well Soon...

Here we go again with my Marianne Design Embossing Folder. I really like this folder and this time I decided to cut it out free hand and use it instead of making it all one size like my past card below "Happy Anniversary" with this embossing folder. Again, here is the name of this folder for you. 
Marianne Design Designables Punch & Emboss - Swirls DS0907


I used my stamp called En Francis from Stampin -Up again. Sorry to be so repetative with this particular stamp but this stamp rocks. I get a lot of use out of it. I took several colors of ink and colored the background with greens, blues, purple and browns.  The lettering was embossed with silver ink.  Adding those colors on top of it added and nice color effect.  It really softend the look to accomidate the pretty Iris from K & Co.   I then added a blue Dragon Fly and applied irradecent Stickles to it for a glittery effect and added the bow. Prehaps you've notice I rarely use bows on my cards. It seems that when I get finished adding my emblilshments I don't seem to have room for a large bow.  Today this bow fits this card really fine.


I think if I was under the weather I would feel better the minute I received a pretty
little card like this? How about you?

Blessings to all….Leanne
