Embossed Thanks - and a Last Chance at a Great Prize

This is a card I made using products available from the Creating Everlasting Memories eBay store.  They are closed through today, and will re-open tonight at 12:01 a.m.  (I'm assuming that's PDT, but that's only a guess!)  The embossing folder, the frame die, and the dragonfly die are all from there and are all from Lifestyle Crafts, formerly Quickutz.


I did a simple little pictorial tutorial, which is posted on the CEM blog, Creating Memories In Time.  I brayered ink onto the embossing folder before embossing.  The ink I used is Kiwi Kiss from Stampin’ Up! I also used Kiwi Kiss cardstock for my matting. The sentiment is from Studio G, stamped in Kiwi Kiss. I cut it with a Lifestyles doodle frames die #DT0095. The outer frame is also Kiwi Kiss. I used Dragonfly #KS0615 die to cut the body of the dragonfly from black cardstock and the wings from vellum.

Also, check out this awesome prize package on the CMIT blog.  You have through today to submit an entry.  One person will be the lucky winner of it all!  All you have to do is to make a Mother's Day card (get a head start for next year!), upload it to your blog or on-line gallery, and link it up to the CMIT blog. The linking widget (is that really a widget?  I don't know!) is down the page a little ways.  Last time I checked, there were only about nine entrants, so your chances of winning are very good!

Kanban Birthday

 

Another card using Kanban products.  This is such gorgeous cardstock!!

One problem I have with cardstock like this, is that I hate to cut into it!  Another problem is that I hate to cover it up:)  This started as a full 12 x 12 sheet.  It's double-sided and also comes with some extra "stripes."  (They are not really stripes, but the designs are in rows.  You can see a picture of what I'm talking about here.)  This card is done with parts of the 12 x 12 - I didn't cut into the "extra."  The thin sparkly pieces at the top and bottom are strips that I cut.  The rest of the background is as it comes.  The sentiment panel is from the backside.  There is a design on the back, but I just used a relatively plain part.  The border on the top of the sentiment panel was cut from the 12 x 12, also.  The sentiment is from a Kanban stamp set and the butterflies are punched with a Martha Stewart punch.  I added pearls to the butterfly bodies and also to the flower centers.  I wish I could convey the beauty of this paper through pictures, but I can't.

For anyone who is reading this far - thanks!  I just had to thank you all for visiting.  I see I have over 200,000 hits.  Amazing!  I appreciate you taking time from your busy day to stop by.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Wish me luck in getting anything else done:)
