Yes, I know another butterflies and flowers card. But I did get two new stamps sets and I had to give them a work out. The flowers are from the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set that I resisted buying forever and finally broke down and bought. I have seen so many amazing things done with this stamp set. What I did is stamped the flowers on patterned DSP and then embossed with white embossing powder. You can also do the same with Black Sta-zon, other embossing powders. I also broke out my Great Friends stamp set. Another one where even with just 5 stamps the possibilities are endless. It also goes great with the Matchbox Messages Die and Stamp set. Another new purchase and probably for me the most exciting is the scallop circle die. I resisted buying this since I first bought my Big Shot and can't understand why I waited so long. That's what happens though when there are just so many things to love. Want to know my Must Buy List? It's called the 2009-2010 Idea Book and Catalogue!
I also realized that Old Olive and the new In-color Soft Suede go together really well. I also used one of the Soft Subtles colours, Blush blossom for the backing of the embossed butterfly and the butterfly cut using the Beautiful Butterflies die. Take the Butterflies off and this could be a nice masculine card too.
