I had this sentiment sitting on my work space. It had been printed from an earlier project but not used. Seemed like a great standalone creation. I layered it with white copy paper colored with marker in plum and the next layer was also a leftover. I did add the gold heat embossing in the center layer and then stamped the heat set gold butterfly on the sentiment tag. The delicate lace base layer is white Text Vellum dry embossed then plum ink pad rubbed across surface and edges. I did add a coating of clear gesso to this layer. It gives a nice shimmer and stability without adding weight. All is mounted on white cs base.
You may have noticed a slight change to my blog page. That is because I took the past two cold wintery days and added a couple of pages. First tap along navigation is where I now showcase my honors and design recognition (removing badges from sidebar). The next tab is where I have added links to some of my favorite supplies and techniques from my blog. These links are for reference and I do not receive ANY compensation from ANYONE.
