Shine Brightly

 I just love that sentiment, this card went to a new fellow card maker, so fun to meet others from around the world through our blogs! She sent me a couple of images that I will be sharing later when I get all my Christmas cards made :)


  • Memory Box - Sylvan Corner die
  • Crafter's companion - Paper from advent calendar
  • Twilight - Yellow butterfly washi tape from amazon
  • 49 and Market - Curators Meadow laser cut elements and Vintage artistry essentials  rub on transfers
  • Tim Holtz - tiny text remnant rub ons

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Connie

Your card has a very vintage look to it. I love the large butterfly, it looks real. Nice job on the card. I'm sure it will be cherished by the one who receives it.

Just beautiful, Connie! I love the bit of soft text in the background and those sweet butterflies.

Beth Stamps said...

Gosh, what a beauty, Connie! I love everything about this card--the yellow border of butterflies, the yellow butterfly (who knew washi tape could be used as a focal point), and the "torn" look.

Wow, I love every bit of this and how you put it together! Yellow always grabs me, and you've used it so beautifully, keeping it soft, yet colorful. Such lovely use of all the different elements from your toybox!

Another one fallen down the black hole lol So Fun! She'll love the card and admire the different accents. Great rub ons and corner die, love it in yellow! Beautiful butterfly and I love the look of the torn edge and pretty paper beneath.

Such a pretty and cheerful card! Your card matches the saying so well.

The soft vintage layers on this design come together so naturally. The delicate corner die frames the scene without overwhelming it, and the mix of rub ons and washi gives the whole piece a gentle glow. The yellow butterfly feels like the perfect focal point for that uplifting sentiment, and the torn edge adds just the right touch of texture.
