Looking For The Love...and the Bright Side!

Hi everyone! Happy Thursday!! Here is my card for Challenge #4 at the Verve Stamps Looking For Love Release Challenge, VSLFL4!!

For this card, I took Julee's sketch VERY literally...I even used the colors!!! I started with my Soft Sky panel, which I stamped the background stamp from Snow Wonderful in Versamark and then embossed with White Embossing Powder. I don't have those fancy label nesties, so I just started with a square of Soft Sky, notched the edges with my 1/4 Inch Square Punch, and then did the same for white and black panels. I stamped the Soft Sky panel with the butterflies from Fluttering By in Soft Sky. I then stamped the polka dot butterfly in black onto white cs, and then again onto vellum. I cut them both out and popped them up with dimensionals. I added some decorative piercing with my spankin' new Ornare Piercing Stencil, that my bestest bud Jessie got me for my birthday (thanks girl!!). I added three black brads to the bottom.

I added some piercing around the focal panel, scalloped the bottom edges with the Scallop Edge Punch, added some more piercing, and then added two bows, one of Soft Sky Double Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon and one Black Gingham Ribbon.

The entire card was sprayed with some Ritzy Ditzy Glitz in Silver...which puddled in some places :(

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
