I received a marvelous little birthday package from Stamp Muse that included this delicious Cherie glitter paper from SEI's Chocolat collection. When I saw this week's Sketch 37 at Card Patterns, an idea was born. I love how the paper is two sided, so I was able to feature both beautiful designs together.
I used a new (to me) Martha Stewart butterfly punch to create a few more embellishments from the scraps. This sentiment from Hero Arts is one of my favorites. I used an oval punch on the end of the sentiment flag.
Also, the October 20th challenge will be my last as a member of the amazing Caardvarks Design Crew ... I am sad that this part of my design life is ending, but excited about pursuing other opportunities. You can check out the 'Varks Crew Fond Farewell here.
Make your own happiness this week.
Oh Stef, what a delicious card this is! The colors are lovely and love those little details!
