Congrats!

Having 3 girls spanning from 1 to almost 25 means everyone is going through a different stage of their life. My youngest is walking and just learning to sound out words and has realized screaming is an effective way to let her 6 year old sister know that she's bugging her. My 6 year old is loving kindergarten, meeting new friends and trying to test the limits of her parents' authority. And my beautiful 24 year old has just announced she's engaged!

We are going out to supper with her and her fiancé and his parents next weekend so I wanted to get a card made for them. I decided to use this week's sketch #2 from Simon Says Challenge Blog as the basis for the card. I die cut a butterfly tag from the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge, my favourite cart, and first rubbed it into pools of Tim Holtz Distress stain, one of my fav products, and then spritzed it with gold mist. I layered it over a piece of cardstock, first coloured with green Distress Stain and then embossed with my Cuttlebug - a favourite tool! I cut out two hearts, a scroll and a square shape with the Cricut, another fav tool, and the Art Philosophy cart and used gold embossing powder on the scroll and square and a gold pen on the hearts. Added a couple gems for bling and used a Tim Holtz stamp (fav!) on the inside.











 
I hope Steph and her fiancé will like the card, but more importantly I hope they will have many, many happy years together!
