For my seventh tunnel card I used this nice floral pink sheet that was a coordinating plain pink on the other side. I chose a diamond pattern in light pink for the tunnel. You can check out my first card
here. I did not have an oval die big enough to cut an opening for my tunnel so I traced my largest Nestibilities and cut it out by hand. I stamped the greeting on the inside and embossed it with silver embossing powder. I did the same with a simple daisy and a flourish (Sugarloaf). I chalked the daisies in blue which turned them a bit of a purple which was just perfect to coordinate with the butterfly stitckers I had chosen. I adhered the flaps of my tunnel to the inside of my card and added the butterfly stickers. These stickers have been around for a while and required a bit of double sided tape to get them to stay in place. For the front of my card I die cut a label from dark pink cardstock and embossed it with the D'Vine swirl embossing folder (CB) and then added embossing ink and clear embossing powder with glitter in it to give it some sparkle. I die cut a new oval from the one I trimmed from the tunnel so it would fit inside my embossed label. I glittered its edges as well then adhered another dragofly to the center of it. I found this pink paper in my stash, trimmed it to size, added silk flowers in all four corner using silver brads and then adhered it at a bit of an angle on my card front. I mounted my label focal element to it using 3D foam tape to finish off my card. I see that I could have echoed the yellow from my dragonflies in my layout - maybe a layer of yellow behind the pink would have been sufficient. Next time!! Therese
