I was wondering today what a black & white wedding card would look like with my fabulous new little butterfly embosslit. So, well, I had to try it out! I’ll have to play around with this more, but this is my “tester.” Don’t mind the messy spots!

This next picture is a little out of focus (oopsie!), but you can see a little bit of the heat embossing in the corner and the crystal effects on the butterfly. (The crystal effects was still not even quite dry there. Have to hurry and get this posted before the baby wakes up!
)

The stamps I used, for the Mr & Mrs, are from the cute Together Forever set. And those cute swirls in the corner? Those are a sneak peek (love a sneak peek!) from the upcoming Summer Mini Catalog! (whoo hoo, the perks of being a demo and getting goodies early!) The Summer Mini will be available May 1st, and this set is called Elements of Style. (Love it.)
Thanks for peeking in! I’d better go get that now-awake baby!

I’m posting the cards from my September club a little early, so the club girls may get a sneak peek.
If you don’t want a “spoiler,” avert your eyes!

Isn’t that paper cute? I got the cute little bib idea from this cute card here.
(Though my daughter insisted it is a swing, not a bib, so if you couldn’t tell either I won’t hold it against you.
)

There are some fun techniques on that card. This is my 1st time dying the flowers from the Pretties Kit. So easy! There are many methods, but I used an aqua painter and reinker. Also, the swirlies in the background are heat embossed. Love the embossing.

And why not a little Halloween 3×3?
Bye!
