Hi Everyone,

I am so glad you stopped by.  I have been lucky to have the new C'est La Vie collection on my desk lately and have created another gorgeous card for today.  A girl can never have too many cards in her collection.  I love layers and I love using them on my cards.

So let's go.

For my card I used a white A6 card base. Each patterned paper I chose from the 6x6" paper pad I distressed the edges of.  I covered the front of the card in my chosen paper.  Next I attached a strip of a darker contrasting paper and attached it to the left of the card.

I next layered one of my absolute papers to another patterned paper, again distressing the edges.  I created a banner tab. I added some 3D foam tape to the reverse and adhered it a little off the right side of the card and a little lower than in the middle of the card.  I had some gorgeous pink lace to add to it in my stash.

 The ephemera in this collection is gorgeous.  I selected one of the branches from the pack and it had a really little butterfly perched on one of the branches.  I am not a big one for sticking everything down totally so just glued it down on the stem.  This helps give it a more 3D and real effect to the individual pieces. 

The white flower I chose for the card I blended the edges of the petals in a matching pink ink.  Once I had these adhered to the card I added a couple of matching green mini flowers from my collection. To finish I tucked one of the cute ephemera birds into the flower and put one of the word sentiments on 3D foam tape in the bottom right corner.
