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 ways. I 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!
