Believe

Hope that everyone is having a great weekend. We woke up to about an inch of snow on the ground this morning! I have created this card for 6 challenges.

Play Date Cafe #63-Grass Green, Silver, Gold
Just Us Girls #76 -Envy of Envies
Flutterby Wednesday #136  -use an angel, butterfly or fairy
Basic Grey #35-Spots and Dots and Design Team Call
Midnight Madness Sketch #85 
Moving Along with the Times #80-Ring in the New and Ring out the Old-My new is the stamp set and the old is the papers



The challenge for the JUGS challenge is to make a card, decorate the envelope and make a lining for the envelope. There is a tutorial on how to make the lining on their website. I had to modify it a little bit for this envelope. The only thing that I don't like is that I wish I had lined up the dots better! The Basic Grey papers are from the Boxer collection and the dot paper is Three Bugs in a Rug. I embossed the fairy with gold embossing powder and the saying with silver embossing powder. They are both Recollections. I cut the butterflies and flowers with the Cuttlebug and added bling and a polka dot ribbon. Thanks for stopping by!

  7. You had me at green! I love this! The way you incorperated the sentiment up the side with the butterflies is very pretty. What a sweet touch that you've carried over the cute little polka dots onto the matching envelope as well.
    Hope to see you again for the next challenge.
