Just Because

What you may not be able to understand in this photo is the horizontal stripe behind the butterfly.  It is not a random color that doesn't seem to match, but irl it's a holographic paper.  It's just very hard to photograph and turn out how it actually appears.

Birthday Wishes

When creating this card I inked the embossing folders with the same color as the paper I was embossing. It really sets off the embossing. I used the debossed side of the nectarine paper and the embossed side of the flamingo paper.  For the Just Because card I used mint ink on the embossing folder.
