You Light Up My Life



Hi all and welcome to Day 2 of MFT Teaser Time.  I am super excited about my card for today for 2 reasons:
  1. I used the AMAZING new Botanical Beauty Die-namics on it
  2. I love the soft beachy color combo
I used the gorgeous Inspired by Lighthouses stamp set and stamped it on some lightly patterned paper.  The sentiment was also stamped on patterned paper.  The paper flower was created with the new Botanical Beauty Die-namics die, kraft card stock, and patterned paper.  I added a dimensional dot between each layer to give it lots of dimension.  I tied in the kraft flower with the Monarch Border in kraft at the bottom of the card.

Warning: I might put the Botanical Beauty flower on every card I make for a while.  LOL  I just ADORE it.  (I'm only half joking LOL)


The Monarch Border is the "little sister" of the Jumbo Monarch Border Die-namics released last month.  This classy shape should be available in a zillion sizes if you ask me.  :) 




*swoon*  I am in LOVE with the soon-to-be-released Botanical Beauty

I love the use of kraft cardstock, neutral tones, and the simple purity of the brown inked lighthouse stamp... they really compliment the natural elements at play.
