If you got here from the wonderfully talented Connie' blog, you are in the right place. 






For my card I am using ODBD As You Graduate for the focal image.  I stamped the background in a soft aqua color.  I stamped the sentiment using Memento tuxedo black.   I decided to add a little bit of flair using the ODBD Blessed Christmas set set(yes...Christmas in March and without a Christmas theme) along with the ODBD custom Poinsettia die. As you see I only used the curly cue leaves and vines on the edges of the poinsettia to tuck under the frame.  Love using stamps and dies in different waysI stamped, die cut, and added some glitter.  Next, I decided to add a butterfly. I chose the butterfly single image. I stamped in Memento ink, die cut with the ODBD custom butterfly die.  I colored with copics and added some glitter.   I finished the card with a seam binding bow in soft green with a glittered button.




As always thanks so much for stopping by!  Enjoy the hop!  Next up is the fabulously talented  Tosh's blog!

  33. This is a beautiful card. Thanks for the idea of using a "seasonal" die in a different way...now I have more great ideas for using such stamps and dies "out of season".
