Cool site Steph! I so needed a new purse. I just went with a Target' special, if you know what I mean. But today for my card I chose the suede one with the butterflies on it..........details.....
This went together rather quickly. I took an ATC card spread brown applique all over the front then brayered it and heat set it. Makes it look like suede don't you think?
After that I scored the edges to look like stitching lines.
Computer generated the sentiment and added a purple gem. Too bad it wasn't a pearl or I could say I impearled my card. (see Wednesday's WOW02 challenge to see what I'm talking about.)
The gorgeous butterfly was found in a magazine awhile back. I thought it would look pretty on a card, so I cut it out, put it on cs and added the diamond glaze. Then just set it aside until I found the right card to put it on. Today was the day.
Well, hope you like my IC card.......TFL :0)

Will you ever make a card I can understand? I've just about given up reading your narratives because I cant understand how you put these works of art together. This has a really rich appearance. Love whatever it was you did to that and your butterfly. If I'm not mistaken, and rarely I am, I dont ever remember seeing a butterfly in your gallery? Beautiful card, Nutmeg. YOu done good on this holiday weekend. I was a little sad earlier today: for some reason, I'm really missing my home in Roseville.
