We are welcoming our new Guest Designer, Aileen Ryan, for the month of May. Welcome, Aileen! We are so happy to have you with us. Please visit her blog and leave some love!
I picked the wonderful Enclosed Butterfly set from PTI and used my Minc Mini to apply foil to the butterfly edges and my "birthday" sentiment. I don't know why in photos the foil always seems to show a shadow, but it is gorgeous in person. For the inside of the butterfly, I applied a sticky embossing powder and some Martha Stewart glitter...love the sparkle! On the white panel I stamped a flourish of flowers for the butterfly to hover over. The fun patterned paper is from Doodlebug.
Please visit the Just Us Girls blog to see the gorgeous cards the rest of the team and our GD, Aileen, have made this week. I hope you will be inspired and come play along with us.
If you win Chic of the Week in any of our May challenges, you will be in the running to be chosen as our Guest Designer for the month of July. Good luck!
