Hi all. Another birthday card today, but this time a CAS card for the Less is More Challenge where they are asking for the colours aquamarine and black. I used a NBUS embossing folder called Tied Together by Couture Creations, a folder I have always wanted but could never seem to get hold of but I suddenly spotted it and managed to get it but not available now. I was also lucky enough to win over at the Allsorts Challenge and part of the prize was this pretty stamp called Large Butterfly Border from Stamps by Chloe, and this is also its first outing.
I decided to ink the EF and do a print from it by rubbing the ink over one side of the folder, spritzing with a little water and pressing it down onto my strip of white card for which I used Broken China Distress Ink. I then stamped the border overlapping this lattice pattern using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink and then stamped the sentiment just beneath using the same ink. I finished by adding it to a piece of black card before mounting it on to my base white card.
Thank you for visiting me here today and I'll see you again soon.

NBUS Challenge - No. 49 Where we use our Never Before Used Schtuff.
Less is More Challenge - No. 480 - Colours.

that is a beautiful EF, love the touch of colour on the surface and the butterflies along the edge xx
What an effective way to use the Butterfly stamp Pat, it looks really effective against the delicately inked embossed border, thanks so much for sharing with us at Stamping Sensations and We Love Stamping April challenges.

A great CAS card, very effective use of the embossing folder and butterfly border. I remember chasing that E/F some years ago - to no avail 🙄
Lovely card Pat..your embossed ink effect background is so effective, the little dancing butterflies finish off your card beautifully...
Did you received my email Pat?

Hi Pat, hope you had a lovely Easter. This is a fine CAS card and a clever way to use your coveted embossing folder, too. I love finding stuff I've always wanted but waited too long to get. Bought me some Easter bunny peep shaker dies this weekend as I've always wanted bunny peeps without having to fussy cut them. Will be fun to use them next year. XOX, Aimeslee
OH! Such a wonderful and creative card Pat. I love the blue and black. Sorry I've not been around, I hope to be more regular now.

Lovely card Pat - the EF looks stunning and is a perfect backdrop for those pretty butterflies. x
I love your pretty CASlicious design in aqua and black, Pat! Congratulations on getting that great e/f and winning at Allsorts! It's cool how you made a print with the e/f and overlaid it with the flying butterflies! Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
Oh Pat, what an absolutely beautiful design! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our newest adventure - Triple B challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

Fantastic card and great technique with the embossing folder. The butterflies really stand out against the aqua. Thank you so much for joining us at LIm for our colour challenge.

Ah, you made a print, how clever! That's why you could stamp the lovely butterfly border so evenly! Happy yo hear you finally succeeded in purchasing the EF you wanted! The card is very pretty, Pat!
Lovely use of color on the embossing folder. I like the row of butterflies along the edge as well. Thanks for playing over at LIM.
Love any cards with butterflies. Hugs Mrs A.

Beautiful card, Pat. I love how you’ve just embossed half of the card and the inking brings the embossing to life. xx
A lovely card and I do like the butterfly border.
Thanks for sharing with us at Stamping Sensations.
