The background on this card was a unique twist on resist embossing. You can see a video tutorial I did on this technique HERE. If you have never tried heat embossing before, I have a video tutorial on that as well. You can find that one HERE.
The butterflies were made by cutting a small piece of muslin, accordion folding it, and securing it with a mini clothespins. Kind of a fun way to make butterflies.
We are just chugging along through a crazy week in our house. Fingers crossed that the roofers are finally done. Now its just a window replacement, siding, and gutters to complete. Its amazing the damage that hail can do! thanks for stopping by!
