Beauty Full Day - The Craft's Meow Fly Free Sneak Peak

Hello and welcome to day three of The Craft's Meow's sneak peaks!  If you have stumbled upon my blog, be sure to go here to see what I am talking about.  Also, to see if you were one of the lucky winners the last two days, Lisa has those winners posted on the TCM blog!  Today, I am sharing a card using Fly Free (available May 1st).  Do you love butterflies like I do?  Well you are going to love this set!  Check it out:


Starting with a Melon Berry (PTI) cardstock panel, I stamped the little butterfly cluster repeatedly to create my background.  Stamped the cage/butterfly image in black, along with my sentiment, distressed the edges with white acrylic paint and added some butterfly punches, finishing each of them off with a rhinestone.


Dry embossed a piece of Lemon Tart and Spring Moss (PTI) cardstock, border punched the yellow and attached them both to my panel.


Tied on some Spring Moss grosgrain ribbon at the top and adhered the panel to a cream card base using foam dimensional adhesive.
