Card Creations and PTI's Framed

**SWOON**
Check out all those post-its. And that's just an initial run-through. There's TONS of clean-and-simple goodness in this magazine. I mean TONS!!! Also there are a few embellished cards that are simply begging to be CASified. It's been a while since I've felt inspired to do that. I've already used one idea from the magazine (Kelley Eubanks' bling idea on yesterday's post), and can't wait to dive into more! If you can get one, please do so as soon as possible!

For today's card, I'm giving you a preview of my (very simple) tutorial for using Papertrey's Framed set.

I stamped the frame, sentiment, and branch in Memento rich coffee ink, then added the outline leaves. I colored in the leaves with a pear tart marker. It looked a little blah, so I pulled out a Sakura Stardust clear pen and added shimmer to the leaves. LOVED that, so I took a scrap of green vellum, punched the butterfly, added Stardust to that, let it dry, and added it with a bit of olive Hero Arts bling.

Here's a little close-up that shows the shimmer a bit better. Click it to see it bigger.

Thanks for the input about tabs and labels. I'll leave the labels and add a tab with a list of all the tutorials, include acronyms on the FAQ, and list all the OLWs (though that might take a while!).
