Happy Monday everyone!
This card tutorial is up a little later than planned, due to updating the site.
But, here it is!
**************************
And here's how it came together.
I cut my base card at 5.3/8 x 7.1/2. The fold is on the left.
I cut another piece of PP at 4.1/8 x 7.1/4 I distressed and inked the edges.
The first 2 layers were glued like this.
Then I cut this piece of PP at 3.3/8 x 5.3/4
I tore it like so, and lightly distressed the edges and inked them up.
To create them I simply pinched the paper
And dabbed the crease onto my inkpad (walnut stain)
And this is how it came out. I love the delicate distressed inked marks
I glued the triangle peace right to the pink paper.
The floral piece was raised using a piece of cardboard.
However, I didn't glued it down yet.

I cut another strip of PP at 1.1/4 x 6.3/8 The patern of this strip. is on the back of that pink paper below in the picture.
I spritzed the paper strip with water. Once on the front, once on the back. Then start to crumple it
up/ruffle it up, till I liked it. Then I wrapped some thread around it and glued the ends of the thread
to the backside, using hot glue.

From the smallest doily that comes in the Main Kit, I used the marked piece
And glued it from under the floral paper. The ruffled strip was glued at the right top and I added 3 Pearls on top of the thread.
I cut a little tag (from cardstock) at 3.1/2 x 2.7/8
I distressed and inked the edges and added some thread.
Yes, it is true, I cut this beautiful piece in half, and used the bottom half on my card.
I placed it under my tag, which was raised with cardboard. I started to shuffle my other embellies around until I liked it. The butterflies were first treated with Distress Paint Picket Fence.
Whilst the paint was still wet, I sprinkled 1 of the butterflies with Diamond Dust Ultra Fine glitter. The other one got sprayed with a plum color mist.
Ater that dried I added some Stickles in Diamond.
After I glued everything down, I added some beads under the doily sticker that comes in the Main Kit.
Using Stazon in Jet Black, I stamped my sentiment.
The pearls on the tag were glued down using Beacon's Gem-Tac.
I was about to call it done, but found that it was missing something.
So I took the little half, sticker doily and glued a few beads to the backside and on the bottom part
of the doily I added 2 layers of (leftover) chipboard.

When the beads were dry I placed this little sticker, from under my tag. Like so
This is how the sticker flows above the background paper, only because of the added beads underneath. I often use beads to raise things. Especially when I work with acetate pieces.
And now, I officially called it done.
Below are some close up's of the card.
I hope you like it and that the tutorial gave you some inspiration.
THANK YOU, for being your patience and for your ever so lovely comments.
