I cased a beautiful card from my sweet friend Peggy's gallery for this week's TSC; FLORAL BIRDS[pic] by marilynprestonn at Splitcoaststampers
It was to be a flat sympathy card, without knotted ribbon or anything that would require extra postage. I made several of these to send to Lovely Linda, who'll be passing them on to the Red Cross. They're for the victims of the Bush fires in Australia. Here is a link to one of the cards that Lovely Linda made; TSC0213 For Australian Bush Fire Survivors by Lovely Linda at Splitcoaststampers
The dsp is retired SU (that I've been hoarding!), and I stamped on it with versarmark and embossed with copper ep. The butterflies from Natural Beauty are also embossed with copper on very vanilla cs, and matted with copper cs. I used some flat copper brads as an embellishment.
Thanks for the wonderful challenge, Shirley, and thank you all for looking!!!!
