My color pallet (sp?) included Summer Sun, Ruby Red, Cameo Coral, and Real Red. I used clear embossing powder and it was all done on Shimmery White CS from Stampin' Up. I used my Garden Whimsy stamp set for this one. My card base is Summer Sun, and I had some wide "summer sun-like" yellow ribbon that I had stashed away for a project I'd get to "some day." Then, I used the Rock n' Roll technique to stamp my butterflies on some more Shimmery White CS and cut them out. I mounted my fluttering butterflies onto Ruby Red CS and then backed that on Summer Sun CS. Then, using my pop-dots, I adhered my main image to my background. At this point, I thought I was done...
I thought wrong!
It didn't "feel" done, ya know? Well, after some debating on what it needed, Anette and I decided that some snap topped eyelets would be PERFECT... so I added 3 to the top left of my card. Again, I thought I was done...

My card sat on the table as we moved on to other projects and kept whispering to me...
"I'm not dazzling yet. I'm not dazzling yet."
So, out came the Dazzling Diamonds and the 2-way glue stick from SU and now, I feel like it's complete.
Well, it better be... I mailed it today to a very forgiving & deserving woman who shares my love for stamping. A former customer of mine forgave my mistake and I needed the perfect card for her... I hope you like it Sarah O.

Ok so I checked your blog earlier, went and look at the tutorial on scs and thought ok I can do this. I sit here looking at it and it just doesn't look right, I will figure something out to do with it to post tomorrow. Maybe I picked to dark of colors, I don't know? We will see what my brain can come up with a good nights sleep lol
I have just got to have a go at this! Your card is brill!! But, I have never tried anything like it before (I am a bit on my own with my cardmaking, I have never seen a demonstration of stamping eva) so it will probably end up a splodgy mess...but hey. Sadly, I can't play today, stuck at work and we are due to go out later...I have to wait till tomorrow nite to have a go :( .....ooooh
Hi Sara - I've done it! Loaded it onto my blog last night, and really enjoyed the challenge! Thanks so much.

Hi, Sara, I have done mine.....Chrissy
Okay, Sara -- I did it! Go check out my blog (www.scrampingmommy.blogspot.com) and tell me what you think -- it's nowhere near as awesome as everyone else's, but I tried it and I'm going to keep trying it! So do you use a sponge or a brayer?
