The embossing paste looks amazing on the card!
Oh what an awesome card. The embossing paste process didn’t take very long but the result is so beautiful. Thank you, Laura, for always making me smile!
I have a thing with butterflies…seriously. I just have an addiction. I love everything butterflies. Dies, stamps, stencils. Because most of the cards that I make are for ladies, I am finding myself reaching for some good butterflies more and more. This card is a grat one, with lots of color. I might have to try this one of these days. Happy crafting!
I love using embossing paste but have never done more that one color on a card. Now I will. TFS. And I do see Debby’s influence here. ;)
What a gorgeous card, Laura … I love the delicacy of the extra thread with the vellum and sequins! Anita :)
