This card was created for a friend's birthday, and I managed to participate in three challenges while doing it. Over at Wednesday Stamper, the challenge is to use an "opening." So I created a tiny card on top of the main card, with an Architexture embellishment and ribbon for the opening. Inside is an Inkadinkado stamped and silver embossed frame with a computer-generated sentiment. The challenge at Arty Girlz is to use buttons. I sewed tiny buttons onto each of the three Cuttlebug-embossed hearts. The Cuttlebug challenge this week is to use your favourite embossing folder. I have two, both of which I used today: Swiss Dots, and one of the folders from my Cuttlebug butterfly die and folder set, which I used to emboss the three punched hearts. Then I inked the raised areas with white acrylic paint sponged over the raised embossed areas. I'm posting three views, closed, then the top card partly open, and then fully open. THANK YOU for taking the time to visit today.
