Happy Saturday!

Hi everyone and Happy Saturday! Ashley here from Made Especially For You. I'm so excited to be posting my first project as a guest designer!

My first guest designer card was made using the Courage Is My Strength stamp set.

Isn't the stamp set just wonderful?! I absolutely LOVE those butterflies, which is why I couldn't resist using one of them on my card. :) I used my Cricut machine and the Elegant Edges cartridge to cut the scalloped frame. I stamped the butterfly onto some vellum and cut a light border around it. To give it a more 3D effect, I creased the butterfly in the center by folding its wings and then placed it on a pop dot.

Here's a complete list of what I used to make the card:

- Black cardstock, vellum, and patterned papers from The Bella Armoire stack by DCWV (the sentiment is also from the stack)

- Cuttlebug with the D'vine Swirl embossing folder

- Cricut machine with the Elegant Edges cartridges used to cut the butterfly frame

- White pearls and black rhinestones

- Unity butterfly stamp with black ink

Thank you so much for reading! See you in a couple of weeks!

Ashley
