Butterfly Pixies Pop Up Card

Today I am posting a special card I made for my dear friend Valerie.  Most of the images of the beautiful Butterfly winged Fairies come from the Gecko Galz set called Pixie Dust.  If you look closely you can see it is another one of my Pop Up cards, where I layer it from the center out, one image extending on to another.  If you are interested in making one I have a post with step by step instructions here.  The real butterflies are from Magic Moonlight, free digital images (I have had them in my file for a long time you may have to search to find them there.)  The front ticket with the pretty bird is a free image from Emily at Sweetly Scrapped, it is one of her free business cards that I went into Pic Monkey and edited to say Thank you.  I wrote Valeries name and signed my own in Stickles.   (I didn't have a picture of her name on the card so I used the one she had featured on her blog).  I used my  Perfect Layers Rulers to get the precise layers on the front of my card.  And, and, and, I printed these all out on HP Matte Matte photo paper.

Another Pink Saturday rolls around.

Thank you Beverly for hosting the Pink Saturdays, they are always such a pleasure to participate in.  I have met so many wonderful bloggers through your site and I have seen so many beautiful blogs because of your sharing spirit.   And in the true spirit of Pink Saturdays I will share another one of my favorite stops  Pats Pink Apron.  Pat is witty and fun, her blog has great recipes and gorgeous tablescapes.  Tablescapes, last year I would not have even known what that meant.  There is another whole world of bloggers who showcase the most beautiful table settings with the prettiest china, the kind that make you drool.  Pat shares another of my passions, collecting cookbooks.  I hope you will take some time and visit Pat at Pats Pink Apron.  
For today's card I used a beautiful free print from Emily at Sweetly Scrapped, she shares such beautiful vintage graphics on her blog too.  I printed it on the Epson matte presentation paper that I grabbed at Staples for $2.99 for 50 sheets.  I always watch Staples for great bargains on photo paper it makes a huge difference when printing vintage artwork and digital papers.  I also used my Perfect Layers rulers to get the precise edges and alignments on this card.  That beautiful square doily was cut from Lindsays Stamp Stuff Decorative Doilies SVG.  I used some Tim Holtz distress ink on the lace and the edges of the card.  I embossed the white card stock too.
OK, so by now I guess a few of you have noticed I have a problem with Word Verification.  I learned something new yesterday, after requesting something more legible to enter, for the 15th time, at a sweet bloggers site, I noticed there was also a "?" button along with the (garbled) audio and pick another scribbled unreadable mess button.  I pressed that little button and it let me "Contact Us" that allowed me to tell Google  I  have a problem reading the new version of Word Verification.  I hope a few of you will take a minute and let them know what you think about it too.  Maybe if enough of us complain they might figure out something better.  Thanks for looking and thanks for listening.  ~Diane
