This is a birthday card I made for Loll! She actually received it before her birthday which one never knows how the mail will be from here to Canada so timing is always dicey! I think she got her Christmas card (or at least someone did in Canada, sometime in January). The Memory Box background and background paper was sent to me by Priscilla (catluvr2). Her paper is just beautiful with such wonderful texture. The butterflies were cut from SU paper with the IO small butterflies die. I formed all the butterflies with my bone folder to give them flight but image they probably arrived quite flat! :-)
Edit: I know this appears to be an embossed background but it is a full page die cut on top of the same kind of paper. Maybe Priscilla can help us out with the name of the beautiful Memory Box die cut!
Thanks for looking! I always appreciate you stopping by!

What a beauty this one is! I love the embossed background accented with they tiny pearls as well as your beautifully formed butterflies! You must have patience to form all those! I must agree with you on Priscilla's papers too!

Peggy, I absolutely love the background on this one, and the added touch of the pearls gives it such an elegant rich appearance... The butterflies are just gorgeous.... TFS

Peggy, this is so delicate and beautiful! I love all the different little butterflies in lilac and the matching color for the sentiment in the cut out space. Cutting out that space is simply genius - never would have thought of it! The name of the die is Diamond Background by Memory Box. I love this die background, but it sure is a challenge to glue down.

Oh, this is stunning. The die cut bkg. is fantastic and I agree with Priscilla....cutting out the space for the sentiment looks great. I love the colors that you chose and the single pearl for each butterfly. Pinned so I can enjoy it again and again.

Love how you cleverly edited the die to allow for the sentiment. That's kind of stuff makes every one of your cards so unique and just fantastic. Love the added pearls too!
