So glad to have you along on the DeNami Designs Pretty Pastels Blog Hop. You should have arrived from Jane's blog...if not and you just wondered in you can begin here.
Here is my creation for the blog hop!
First I am going to apologize for the dark photograph, it has not been the best of weather this week. This card was started with stamping the Elegant Floral Arch in Stick Candy ink by repeat stamping at the top of the card as well as the bottom of the card. Some patterned papers were pieced together in the center potion of the card front adding some beautiful trimmings.
A butterfly was die-cut from a recycled cereal box which was then embossed, painted, and sanded.
This butterfly was embellished with a crotched mat and paper rose. A fussy seam binding bow was tied and embellished with a button just above the butterfly.
A hand-cut banner was created to host the Thinking of You sentiment. For a finishing touch some paper roses and pearls were added to complete the look of this pretty pastel treat!
