Rectangular Accordion 05 front

This is a Pop It Ups Rectangular Accordion card using some Elizabeth Craft Design Flower Quartet peel off stickers, Silk microfine glitter and Copics to color it.  The Designer Series paper is from the SU Spring Mini – Painted Blooms – and it’s all tied off with some Hello Honey ribbon.  The paper is so gorgeous it’s hard to decide which piece to use!

I used the sentiment in Love & Sympathy for the inside.  It’s stamped in Wild Wasabi.  Els has a great video on YouTube on how to use the stickers with glitter and Copics.  They really make a card sparkle!  Hugs, Fran

Here’s my next card for the “fly” challenge – and it was very hard to photograph!  I used the Quatrefancy DSP acetate to make the base for this Butterfly Pivot card.  It’s beautiful in real life, but was a bear to photograph.  The accent paper is Gingham Garden and the sentiment is from Love & Sympathy. 

Here’s another photo that helps you see the acetate – maybe
