Friday Nite Card Nite

Wow the weekend zipped right past me!  I got together with the ladies Friday Night for cards and boy we sure didn't get much don!  LOL We gabbed alot and the ladies surprised me with a little birthday celebration.  By the time we got up stairs to make cards it was getting late.  Next thing we knew it was midnight!  AND we only got 3 cards done.
For mine I decided to use a paper pack I got on clearance about a year ago.  It contains printed cork and is 12x12.  I used a piece of it for the first layer on the card.
The stamp is a Hero Arts stamp and I stamped on a piece of scrap watercolor paper that I used as a protectant when spraying Glimmer Mists.  I don't throw these away because they make beautiful homemade flowers when punched.  Anyway the 3 little tabs are actually scraps of the layer turned backwards and tiny mulberry paper flowers that I punched out and added a little red bling to center.  The butterflies were also punched out of the scraps of Glimmer Misted paper.  Now that I'm looking at it I think I'll add a little pearl to the butterflies and a few rhinestones around the flower.

Well until later........................


HAPPY CARDING!!
