For inspiration, Meredith gave us this gorgeous pic courtesy of Martha Stewart!
And the WMSC sketch is below:
And here is my take:
It's not pink (my first thought was for a ruffly pink card), but I bought these papers last week from my local craft shop and was itching to use them - they are lovely and thick and perfect for crafting. So my inspiration is from the ribbon effect on the icing, and I reflected this in the ribbon around the die cut lacy square, cut using my nesties.
The butterfly is a Waltzingmouse stamp from the Earthangel set, this was the very first set I bought from WMS, and it does remain one of my favourites.
The butterfly was stamped onto a pretty patterned paper which is also glitter embossed, it's so pretty and sparkly.
All the edges were distressed with antique linen and Walnut Stain, which always surprises me at how dark it is!
That's it from me, thanks for stopping by
