"Fleur de lys" inspired card..............



Yesterday I came across a digital cutter file (for the Craft Robo) that was designed by SylviaF at the UK Scrappers site and it was so lovely I decided to convert the file to cut using my Pazzles Inspiration and of course if I was going to cut it out then I just had to make a card. I wound up using it to make a little birthday card. One of the things I liked about the file was that she designed a mat that you thread with ribbon! The file is named “Fleur de lys Frame with Lattice” and can be found in the “Craft Robo Templates” section at the UK site. Her design actually has a top mat that is latticed but I decided just to create “Happy Birthday” using the Pazzles “Impress BT Reg” font and I added a mat and cut it using my Pazzles Inspiration. I embossed “Happy Birthday” using VersaMark and white opaque embossing powder. I did this three times. I also decided to make a bow to match the laced ribbon, added Liquid Pearls on the “fleur de lys” mat and a butterfly embellishment.

As always Pam, love this one too. Love the liquid pearls, and the way the ribbon is woven through the mat. I'm off to the UK site to grab that wonderful cutting file!
