Paperamblings

A Happy Life...
The second card I did for the Splitcoast weekly color challenge. This time I used the "Little Lady" set from Papertrey Ink. The cardstock is Lasting Impression and came pre-embossed. Used the Making Memories paper distresser tool (another of my fave standby tools) to rough up the edges of the turquoise panel. Used a Cuttlebug die to cut a tag from the same kraft paper for the little "celebrate" message and tied it to the ribbons with SU's linen floss (use THAT all the time, too!). The highlight of this card (in my humble opinion!) are the raised wings...did this simply by stamping a 2nd set of wings on scrap cs, cutting them out (it's only one piece despite the plurality) and making a score line down the center; fold both sides upward at the score mark and there you go! To attach the wings to the card I ran a thin line of glue along the underside of the crease and held it in position for a couple secs and that's it! After the glue dried completely, I punched a couple random holes thru the wings for the brads (turquoise ones are Making Memories and are glitter-coated). Micro holes in the scallops of the white oval are a final touch. Thanks for taking a look!
