Created another Chupa inspired shaped card for today's project (labels 25). Flower is Spellbinders Blossom #1 - cut two from white cardstock and inked with Distress Tattered Rose. Both were wound together and adhered using hot glue; selectively painted petal tips with a paintbrush and Matte Multi-Medium, then dunked into a new jar of Dry Stickles (clear rock candy) and allowed to dry. Shook off excess glitter once medium dried. Suede leaves (used burgundy but they photographed rather reddish-plum).
The pearl bling outline is from Want2Scrap, sentiment is from A Muse and stamped on a Papertrey banner die. Patterned papers are Bazzill Basics 6x6 Kraft and the card base and banner with sentiment is Bazzill Peanut Cluster. Natural crochet ribbon was interwoven with 1/8 inch velvet ribbon.
And what does this card need? Why a custom envelope of course! One-inch depth, created from old MME paper from the stash. Making handmade envelopes using old 12x12 papers from the stash seems to be working - the stash is successfully being reduced in size - ha. Thanks for stopping by today!
WOW, this is one gorgeous card!!! Love the card stock color you used and that Kraft 6x6 pad. And I LOVE that flower you made!

Dry Stickles? Never heard of them but they sound perfect for me! I tend to smear the wet ones....and love your envelope from your stash paper!

I'm loving the ink treatment you did on the roses, so soft and pretty. The paisley envelope is perfect for this card.

Oh Cindy, another outstanding creation!! Absolutely love your 1" deep envelope. I have to make some of those to accommodate my embellished cards. This card is lovely as can be.

I am loving all your cards and the handmade envelopes are great! Do you have a pattern or system for those?
