WISHING YOU WELL

I'm afraid I've been reading a lot lately and neglecting making new cards. Since I do have some cards with the Penny Black stickers yet, I am using one of them. These don't take a lot of talent to put something together, but I do think they make very pretty cards to send.

The card base is actually some that I have had for years. It has slight flecks of darker color in it and is very pretty. I mounted the sticker on off white card stock and trimmed the edges for a frame of it to show. Crystal glitter was added to the centers of the flowers.

The butterfly is also a sticker but I wanted to pop it so I traced around it onto some off white card stock and then trimmed it slightly smaller than the sticker. A little glitter was added to the wings of the butterfly and I mounted it to the card.

A nice space was left at the bottom to stamp "wishing you well" which is a stamp from Hero Arts.

Thanks for stopping by!
