I got lots of new goodies at the Spellbinders Design Team retreat and used a few of them on this card. The card base is rose red. I cut and embossed the pink pirouette panel using the new impressabilities and then used a sponge to highlight the high areas with rose red ink. I also sponged the edges before mounting onto the basic gray cs. The flowers are cut and embossed which I shaped a bit with the handle of a paint brush and colored with markers, then added stickles. It caused the ink to run a bit and I really like that look. It just softens the edges a bit. I added ribbon and a bow. The sentiment is stamped, cut and embossed with nestabilities and mounted onto the rose red scalloped oval nestie and popped up with dimensionals. I added a Spellbinders butterfly which was dotted and the body outlined with my new Smooch made by Clearsnap. Now that's some fun I hadn't tried before.
Stop by my BLOG to see all the other fun goodies I received. It will blow your mind!
