Just had to Share...

Typically I don't like to post cards that use products you can no longer order, but I just had to share this one. Yesterday afternoon I was busy cranking out cards for the Horseshoe Market this weekend when inspiration struck. This was the result. My hope is that the Thanks for Caring set will make its way into the new Idea Book & Catalog this summer (fingers crossed) & perhaps the Springtime Vintage paper will appear on the Clearance Rack one day? Then you WILL be able to get all the parts for this lovely card. I used my Scallop Edge Punch to create the fun medallion. You just need a 2 3/4" square of cardstock to make the dimensions work. Then I backed it with a bit of Baja Breeze. The base color is Not Quite Navy and I think this is my favorite use of it. I find ways to incorporate this color from time to time, but here it really is at its best. Embossing my butterfly in gold and adding just a touch of satin ribbon also make this card a stand out. Little bits of elegance make such a difference! So I hope you'll forgive the homage to the Occasions Mini Catalog here, but I couldn't keep this one to myself.
