On my first card, I white embossed the sentiment on teal card stock and die cut it w/ a mega oval die. The rest of the framing was die cut w/ the  radiant rectangles dies. I cut two each of the radiant rectangle dies and the oval and sandwiched a piece of vellum in between them so it would look as pretty on the inside as on the outside. I added some pearls to my 6 x 4.50 card.

On my second card, I silver embossed the swirly cake on black card stock and die cut w/ a Labels 4 die. The silver layer behind it was die cut w/ Gold Labels 4 die. I used a white gel pen to color in the little hearts and went over the center hearts w/ a red Micron pen. The black background was stamped w/ white pigment ink using the Brocade Background. I let it dry a bit before sprinkling on white embossing powder and heat embossing it.Â

For my card, I used this beautiful Zinnia image, stamped it on white, then did an out of the box Nestie technique and colored it with Copics. An extra butterfly and large zinnia were also colored and fussy cut. Now I’m fairly sure my “butterfly” could be a moth in disguise, but I’m going with it. The greeting was stamped on the gold card stock and I added a gold shadow w/ a Copic marker on one side and used a white gel pen highlight on the other side of the letters before die cutting it.
