Two Cards - One Folder

I have two cards today using another new Cuttlebug folder called Flourish Frame.

The first one (not a great photo) is a super-simple one I made for my mom. I actually did it for a SplitCoastStampers challenge last week, but didn’t end up uploading it. The challenge was to embellish your sentiment somehow – even by just adding a gem to dot an “i” which is what I did. I did the embossing directly on the card front, stamped the sentiment (from All-Night Media) with Papertrey Ink’s Berry Sorbet and mounted it on Berry Sorbet cardstock. The butterflies are also Berry Sorbet with more gems.

The second card has a little bit more to it, but it still quite Clean and Simple. I embossed the frame, then brayered over the back side (debossed side) with Tim Holtz Distress Ink. I wanted it to be a little “mottled” but looking at the picture, it looks more “unfinished!” (It looks better “in real life.”) For the main image panel, I used a Papertrey set called Beautiful Blooms. I stamped the flower, then masked it to stamp the leaves behind it. I like the “speckled” leaves. I inked up the stamp, stamped it off lightly, then stamped over the flower. The sentiment is from Hero Arts. I matted it and added it to the frame.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you’ll come back and visit again soon!
