A sketch at Core'dinations

I recently saw this sketch posted at the Core'dinations blog, and my mind instantly went to those little embossing folder strips that are starting to pop up. 

And here's what I made, using Core'dinations for all the colored cardstock.


supplies: Anna Griffin Rosa embossing strip, Simon exclusive Chrissy and Leanna butterfly dies, Martha Stewart pansy punch, aqua and white pearls.  The sentiment is from a now-discontinued The Craft's Meow stamp set called Easter Blessings.  

This was so much fun to work on - love these spring colors, especially as I look outside my window to see all that white!

    What a welcome sight to see your pretty Spring card this morning. We don't have snow,but here in Houston,Tx.,it's ICE AND 28 degrees.! Stay warm, Lin !
    Love your lovely embossed card. i haven's used the small embossing strips yet.The way you used three strips together ,along with the pansy flowered one makes such a nice card to send.
