WMSC #32, Flutterby Wednesday

Hi all, I have a card tonight for the Waltzingmouse sketch challenge, and the Flutterby Wdnesday Challenge.

Here's the sketch:
I have used a white linen card base, and embossed some white linen card with a cuttlebug folder.


Have used some lilac gingham and some lavender ink around the edges of the panel.


Then using Musical Backgrounds from Waltzingmouse Stamps, have stamped a variety of the stamps in distress inks: Black Soot, Milled Lavender and Victorian Velvet. Then cut a variety of butterflies using two Martha Stewart punches and a butterfly die cutter by Little Claire.



The sentiment is from Waltzingmouse Stamps Asian gardens, and the label is hand drawn and cut (must get a tag shaped die cutter!) stamped over some Musical Background again using Distrss Inks Black Soot and Milled Lavender.




Attached tag to ribbon with pearly lilac brad and wrapped some purple thin ribbon around it, assembled and added some gems.


Alll the butterflies are popped up onto foam tape, and the top butterfly has 3 layers attached with Glossy Accents.

Thanks for stopping by, have a great upcoming weekend!

Wow! Fabulous card. Love the embossing, and the butterflies look great the way you did them. I want to do more of that kind of thing with the text backgrounds from an old book, sheet music, etc. It's so vintage and sophisticated looking! Bravo!
