My card is 6" x 6" with a base of blue. I used the Ornamental Iron cricut cart. to cut out a gate die 3 times. Then I layered the gate over paper from My Mind's Eye "Laundry Line", in fact, all of the designer paper used in this project is from that paper pack. Next, I lined up the gates down the left side of the card. I took a strip of aqua cardstock and used my cuttlebug to emboss the strip with a border embossing folder called "Just My Type" which is like the Swiss Dots folder. I used another strip of aqua cs and used a Martha Stewart border punch and placed it alongside the embossed strip. White ribbon is tied over the embossed strip. A CTMH stamp "Butterfly Wings" was stamped on designer paper with CTMH stamp pad Moonlight and cut out to place over the gate die. The first flower from a CTMH background stamp set was stamped using a CTMH Topiary stamp pad over designer paper four times on two different papers, cut out and a pink brad holding them together. The second flower was punched out of designer paper 6 times with a Stamping Up 2 3/8" flower punch, sprayed with water, crumpled up, lined up on a pink brad and arranged to make a 3D flower.
I have to confess, the challenge blogs I am submitting this card to were found on Both Sides of the Paper . I admit to scrap lifting, so I guess this is challenge lifting? Katie did a wonderful job of gathering the list, I hope she does not mind that I used her hard work. So, with no further ado:
