Over at Stamp TV this week my good friend Barbara is hosting their Mix It UP Monday challenge. As soon as I saw her challenge, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. I haven’t used my embossing paste in quite a while and I really, really LOVE this stuff! For the challenge, Barb asked us to use the colors red, white, and blue on our project. You can use all the colors or just one however, somewhere you must incorporate a star. The Star stencil I decided to use is from Stampin UP. First, I cut out the oval from the top piece of white card stock so I could frame in the butterfly. Then I stenciled it with embossing paste. Next, I heat embossed the butterfly and the sentiment with red embossing powder. The beautiful butterfly is from the set Take Flight-Gina K Designs and it’s my absolute FAVORITE for sure! The Sentiment is also from Gina K, called Thank You Duo. The tiny stars were made from the inside of a Verve die cut. I think the rest is self explanatory. The card turned out just as I had planned! That’s a rarity! LOL
Hope you have a wonderful day! Nanc’
