Anniversary

I was looking at the Docrafts site, which I use to visit daily prior to starting my blog some years ago and spotted Clare Curd's challenge, which this week is a sketch.
The simplicity appealed to me and so I thought that I would make a card using it. I amalgamated a challenge from Mark's Finest papers and so made it an Anniversary card.
The base square is double embossed and inked using a Spellbinders Impressabilities stencil, together with a Nestie Square.

• I cut the square and left the card in the die
• I inked a section of the stencil large enough to cover the area of the square and placed the card, still in the die, onto to stencil cutting side uppermost
• I placed a piece of thin scrap paper over this to prevent any ink transferring to my tan mat.
• I then ran it through my Cuttlebug, using the following sandwich

1. B plate
2. Impressabilities stencil (inked side uppermost)
3. Die-cut square still in the die (cutting side uppermost)
4. Thin scrap paper
5. Tan Mat
6. 2 thin card shims
7. B Plate

The butterfly is double layered, matt silver card, then acetate, embossed, glued and glittered and die-cut with a Cuttlebug die.

The sentiment is stamped in Encore silver ink and mounted on Spellbinders tags.

A little bling just added to the interest!

I quite like it!
