Fly Away Home

Here is a shadow box that I created for my sister-in-law Holly.  I created it using whisper white, pink pirouette and regal rose card stock.  I also the retired Stampin' Up! Big Beautiful Butterflies die, and the Beautiful Wings embosslits after embossing the paper to add visual texture. I did use dimensionals and folded the wings up to add to the dimension of this present.  

Butterfly Beauty

     Hi and thank you for sharing your time with me today.  Above you see a simple reverse masking card.  I created my shape with my Big Shot and removing the center.  I then put the "negative" over my card front and sponged away; stamped my branch and sentiment; punched my mini-butterflies added bling ('cause I could) then waved my magic wand and toda!  

     I will be missing (legitimate this time) from my blog because I am having my knee replaced.  It is as a result of a soccer injury 20 years ago, yeah and OK it has been almost that long since I was on the soccer field so it is about time to fix it.  

     Please let me know what you would like to see so that I can show it here!
