Lace background stamp from Hero Arts

This is a gorgeous background stamp, have always wanted it since I saw Godelieve use it white embossed on vellum on her blog here. On this card, I white embossed on music paper. I thought it would go well with the HA Hydrangea stamp and basic gray. Love these colors.



I picked out one of the butterflies from the pile.... as I said I would be making lots from scraps.



What is it about cutting out butterflies - I think the thought of using them on a card in the future is very motivating!

  2. This is a beautiful card. I run my handpainted papers in a scanner over music and calligraphy papers...but duh,,,,never thought of embossing over them. I will have to make a batch of them like you do your butterflies. Is this some of your new "flock"...they look really nice.

  3. Butterflies -
    are colorful
    light as a feather
    they frolic gaily in the air
    are part of the summer
    lovely to see and so is your card!

    greetings Judith
