Oh I sure enjoyed creating this beautiful card for my
awesome and wonderful friend, Rocky.
We've been friends for nearly 30 years!
She is for me my BFF2.
Rocky's favorites are Autumn colors,
whereas mine are purples.
The 49 and Market ARToptions Plum Grove collection
delivered a beautiful compromise of the two!
The gorgeous 49 and Market flowers on this card were so 'thick',
that I wasn't able to make a standard slimline envelope.
Instead, I made a 'boxed' slimline envelope to accommodate the 3/4" high flowers.
For the front of the card,
I die cut a cute little card with a special note to Rocky.
Adding the vivid butterfly from ReneaBouquets made this really stand out!
I just LOVE these plum colored flowers from 49 and Market,
as well as the seed pods and curled wire!
Check out THIS beauty!
This is one of my most fave butterflies made by ReneaBouquets!
It's truly exquisite!
I changed the antennae by using my own copper wire.
The inside sentiment is in Papyrus font, which I love!
I loaded the left inside of the card with Rub-ons.
Check out this one that states "You MATTER".
PERFECT for my sweet friend, Rocky!
Decorating with Rub-ons and of course a gorgeous ReneaBouquets butterfly
really made for a beautiful 'scene'.
It amazes me how much work goes into each and every ReneaBouquets butterfly. The glitter and diamond dust are applied by hand!
It really makes me appreciate them even more!
Such a stunning beauty!!
This paper from 49 and Market is just gorgeous!
Here is the card fully opened to reveal the front and backside at the same time.
This is by far one of my top favorite cards EVER!
49 and Market truly helps you create gorgeous gifts!
Take care and have a blessed day!
