I needed, unfortunately, two cards for people in work who have been made redundant. I'd made one but wasn't quite happy with it - J has been my best customer for the past two years or more, and I wanted to make something more special, even if it is from all of us. Think this counts for the Girlie LSC - no patterned paper, bling and ribbons.
It's half letter size, to allow for lots of signatures, although it's a size I really struggle with.
Base layer is blue Bazzill Bling.
Then regular green Bazzill, with the bottom scalloped and the top corners punched. I added tiny rhinestones in each scallop and at the top.
My main layer is white card. I stamped the grass twice without re-inking, and embossed with clear EP. Sponged the sky and grass in, then stamped the butterfly after working out where my flower would go.
The flower was stamped with Scattered Straw and the edges sponged with Spiced Marmalade. The centre is Worn Lipstick sponged with Spiced Marmalade. The base layer for the butterfly is Weathered Wood, the top layer is Spiced Marmalade embossed with clear EP and then sponged with Worn Lipstick and Scattered Straw. I added a pearl on the head, and the wings are stuck down at the body and popped up at the tips. The flower is popped up on foam - the stem is an extra piece of the grass sponged again with ink to make it darker, and little leaves added.
The sentiment was computer-generated and cut with Spellbinders ribbon tag, then tied round with ribbon.

Sabrina, this is so beautiful. I love your butterfly and flower. The grass in the background looks so soft and flowing. I like the ribbon that you used.
