It's our niece Katie's birthday on June 6th and since she lives in South Carolina I needed to get her card done so we can mail out her package this week. Katie is definitely a "fashionista" so when I saw this patterned paper collection by sei called "Couture" I knew it would be perfect!
After stamping the dress form and hat from a clear set by Toga with Clearsnap seaglass pigment ink, I overstamped both images with Hero Arts S5507 Envelope Pattern with Ranger antique linen distress ink to give them a little texture. After cutting both images out I also inked their edges with the same distress ink. The sentiment that I embossed on the banner is from an old Rubber Stampede set - I love this funky font! I used a Martha Stewart punch and a Stampin' Up die to create the layered butterfly. The individual and flourish rhinestones are from Michael's. The paper flower was a gift from a friend :)
Other Materials Used: Stampin' Up cs
I hope everyone is having a fabulous start to their week! I want to thank you for sending positive thoughts my mother-in-law's way. Her surgery to remove the gallstones was successful and she is feeling soooooo much better :) I'm off to spend some time with my mom today - we're going to do a little shopping and have lunch at Olive Garden (Yum!).
