Hello and thank you so much for visiting me. My card today is in honour of Allsorts Challenge Blog 12th birthday - congratulations to everyone at Allsorts!
The background is inked with Distress Inks then I stamped the awesome butterfly from Honeydoo Stamps, with Versafine clair and embossed with clear powder heating from the back so the embossing was really smooth. The sentiment, which came from the same stamp set, was stamped on snippets of white card then attached to the panel. The black frames I drew around the sentiments are there because of a mishap! The glue for the top sentiment splurged out and when I tried to remove it, I ripped the top layer of card - oops! So I managed to move the sentiment up a little but then you could see the dried on glue so I added the frames. I don't usually have this trouble and use a really good dries clear PVA - it was just one of those days. I layered onto a thin black panel and then a white 6 inch square card base and job done. A simple but effective card I think.
