All occasion card with decorative paper, an embossed strip and a watercoloured gift

I made a few more cards for my sister from the supplies she left here a few years ago.  

I created a blue half sheet card and cut a striped  decorative paper background.  I cut a strip off the side of my background, flipped it and used regular tape on the back to attach them back together.  I embossed a strip of gray cardstock with a polka dot (CB) embossing folder and highlighted the dots with silver ink then touched the sides with black.  I adhered the strip over where the papers joined.  I fussy cut the gift (Artful Stamper) and watercoloured it to coordinate with my background.  I had stamped a few of these when I was creating cards a few weeks ago.  You can check one of them out here.  

I have a few more to show you over the next few days so come back and check them out.

All occasion card featuring a lace panel, some vellum and a layered butterfly

I started with the butterfly sticker when creating this card.  I adhered it to a silver die cut butterfly adding 3D foam tape below its wings to give it some dimension.  Next, I chose this piece of green lacy fabric and adhered the butterfly to its center.  I chose a blue card to coordinate with the butterfly's wings and eventually found this chevron paper which had several colours in common with the butterfly.  I added a layer of torn vellum over the background before adding my focal element.  I have two other pieces of this fabric so I look forward to experimenting with them as I created cards with them.  I will have to find some papers with this green - it is somewhat unusual!!
