This
has turned into a very busy summer. I
can’t seem to stay home!! I have been
having a wonderful time spending time with my sister, Karla. She came back with me from Omaha and we spent
a weekend at Scrapbook Creations with all my buddies celebrating birthdays. Then we headed to Charleston to spend a few
days with my daughter, Sarah. We enjoyed
great food, relaxing time on the beach, and some great Jazz (compliments of
Sarah’s boyfriend). We have only few
more days before Karla heads home so we are making the most of them but I
decided to take a few moments to share a card with you.
This
card uses the Sparkle N Sprinkle Swirls set, one of my newest favorites. I created the background piece using the Embossed Resist Technique in the
SNS Tips and Techniques section. I used White Detail Embossing Powder and Spun Sugar ink.
This piece was cut into three sections, layered and added to the base
card. The same resist technique was used
for the sentiment. It was cut out with a
Spellbinders’ Label die. By sponging the
ink on while it was still in the die, it created a white border around the
edge. This was layered on a brown
decorative die cut and popped up in the middle of the card.
The
butterfly is embossed in white on vellum, punched out with a perforating tool,
and added to the card front, along with pearl swirls and three handmade coffee
filter flowers (see Frilly Coffee Filter Flowers in Tips and Techniques). All the details to make this card can be
found in the my SNS Gallery here.
Just
a reminder that there are still a few days to enter the July Monthly Challenge at
the SNS Creative Challenges Blog. Sparkle
N Sprinkle is also having a Design Team Call.
Get all the details here.
Thanks
for stopping by!!

How beautiful this card is, Marie - and you have used so many techniques, and a very pretty layout/sketch. Would you believe I have tried a few times to do the white resist technique and have failed miserably? I need to try with some different products. Your card is GORGEOUS. hugs, de
