Like the Butterfly

Happy Beautiful Day to You!  Today I have a card that I have created just for fun.  I have been looking at so many wonderful inspirational cards and this is the fruition of it.  The circle came from the challenge over at CAS on Sunday - circles and I was going to make an easel card like my wonderful friend Vicki has a tutorial on. (I messed up and so just had to adapt what I had with the paper I had left. It's not difficult with her tutorial, but....well perhaps I was just tired?) I shall try again for I've bookmarked her tutorial! Do go check it out HERE! And then for the embossing technique, I saw it on a friend of mine Natalie's blog and it just struck me as a must try!  Mine didn't turn out quite like hers, but I do love the different tones. Go and pop over to see her creation that inspired me, HERE!
So, I used a soft brown for the background of the embossing and a lighter brown and bundled sage ink for the raised areas.  I used some Offray ribbon, a TLC sentiment and a butterfly stamp from Inkadinkado.  The edging just looked too plain for me so I added the scallop to it.  It doesn't seem too CAS, but I tried.  My photo box is on a bit of a tilt so I added a couple of crocheted flowers to hold it in place :)
Well do have a wonderful day and enjoy all the little details the Lord Jesus brings your way!
