I've got a really simple, but elegant card to share with you today. I wanted a tent card so I cut a 4" x 11" card base from Rose Quartz cardstock and scored it at 5 1/2".
I tried the new A2 Matting Basics A and A2 Matting Basics B for the first time and it worked like a charm! These two new Spellbinders sets allow you to cut perfectly straight mats every time! To get a narrow margin, I used the second largest die from each set for a 1/8" margin. I could have used two dies from the same set for 1/4" margin, but for this card, I wanted the 1/8" margin. I embossed the top pink mat for some additional interest, but it wouldn't have been visible on the white mat. I added copper ink around the edges of the white mat.
I cut a Picot Edge Circle (second largest die) out of Cryogen White because of the subtle sparkle (love that!) and added foam pads to the back for dimension. I cut the Floral Flourishes Butterfly by Joy! Craft from Rose Quartz and shaped the wing by using a stylus from the Paper Blossoms Paper Tool Kit. I used Art Institute Dries Clear Adhesive with the Metal Tip to put a narrow line of adhesive down the back of the butterfly.
For the finishing touches, I added tiny pink pearls around the circle area of the Picot Edge Circle. I used gold lines to frame the design. And there you have it!
