Good morning all
Another school holiday over, too busy entertaining my son and taking him places and making sure all homework assignments done last week to do any crafting but Connor has gone back to school today so hope to get more done this week!
I did do my card for the Cuttlebugspot this week and Nilda asked us to do some double embossing not with 2 folders but with one folder and a nestability to get a blank space in our embossing. Hmmm I've not explained that very well but you will understand more when you see the card and also Nilda has a great video tutorial for this clever technique over on the Cuttlebugspot.
My card is pretty simple, I used my favourite folder of the moment, one of the 5x7 folders from the Oh My Crafts Christmas exclusives. I used a circle Spellbinders Nestability to create my 'blank space' in the middle of the card. The polka dot butterfly is from Indie Art Cricut cart and the gems are Prima Say it in Crystals. Finally the rub on is from my stash, another quick and easy card!
Please come and join in the challenge this week we have a new sponsor Simon Says Stamps and the prize this week is a whopping $50 certificate to spend at their fabulous online store!
Excuse the poor photography! Photographing at night is not a good idea! Roll on the light nights!
I am also entering this into the Just Buggin challenge which this week is Black And White!
Be back soon!

Oh Julie this is exquisite, I love seeing embossing on cards and your butterfly with a bit of bling just makes this one classy card.

Julie, this is so striking! Love that b&w dotted b'fly... it's perfect in the embossed cirlce!
Oh my, that is just breath taking... I love black and white.
Julie, This card is AWESOME!! I love the double embossing, but I can't seem to do it. I tried it as Nilda directed, but it doesn't work for me. Yours is wonderful.
OMG Julie, it's gorgeous! Love the butterfly and the bling and the embossing gives it such an elegant presentation! Great job!
