The weather is still crazy hot here [107+] and I'm still in my stamp room. That said, I am playing in more challenges.
Let's start with Use Your Stuff #450 - triangles, along with Can You Handle the Pressure; embossing with a twist of birds.
I started by cutting out a triangle and embossing it. I cut the bird, leaving it white. [This will make a lovely sympathy card].
Lastly, I added a sentiment [Memory Box Signature Greetings], along with a few pearls. This CAS card is done, and good for the challenges.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I went on to play in the AAA Card Challenge #217; Butterflies on 1/9th of card.
I found this perfect embossing folder for the butterfly! [Yeah, one of those 20+ year old products] - I just hope I hit the 1/9th aspect. I cut one of the Simon Says Sentiment Strips and kept it very simple to match the CAS card.
Again, this could be used as a sympathy card. Into my stash it goes. This was a 1st Place Winner.
That's it for today! Thanks Challenges!
Thanks for stopping by~

Wow, these are lovely cards! But that embossed butterfly..ooohh what and a great design with just a 1/9th space! Love that pretty embossing and the CAS design! Fantastic! Thank you so much for joining us at AAA Cards. Hugs ~ Ishani
I love the simplicity of your embossed butterfly with the to-the-point sentiment. I think it needs to be a bit smaller to hit the 1/9th mark, but a lovely card all the same. Thanks for joining us at AAA Cards.
