FS211: Get your groove on!

This week's featured stamper is Stampgroover (aka Cookie). Here is her {card}. I created this card:




I loved the clean simple style of the card, so I "cased" it using different colors, a different stamp set, and added a few elements.

I started with a kraft base, added the blush layer, which I embossed with the birds and swirls folder. I distressed the edges with a bone folder and sponged the edges with walnut ink. I adhered the blush layer to the kraft base. I die cut the frame and stamped the sentiment, from Inside & Out Birthday, with walnut ink. I adhered it to the card with dimensionals. I added some stickles to the scalloped edges on the die cut frame. I added three pink gems under the frame, and then punched a butterfly with some designer paper scraps. I sponged the edge of the butterfly and added some stickles to the center of it.

It is a clean and simple card, which took about 7 minutes to create. Have a wonderful Sunday...I am enjoying some quiet time with the spectacular six. This is vacation week in NY. We have nothing planned but a little skiing and some swim practices!
