This postage stamp die is my absolute favorite die! I embossed a sheet of cardstock, highlighted it with Vintage Photo Distress Ink, and adhered it to the frame. Some ephemera was added next. I used some Distress Paint on the metal band and tied it and a star charm onto the card with some new trim. The butterflies were diecut from more Tim cardstock and colored with Distress Stains and Paint.
Have you noticed I managed not to add one flower to this card? I believe that's a first for me!
Inside was a Tim Holtz stamped sentiment but I forgot to take a picture of it. I really love playing with his products.
Well, that's it for now. We are experiencing yet a bit of snow again tonight. Winter is fighting to hang on for as long as it can! Hope all is well with you. Thanks for stopping by!
What a wonderful bday card for your son, Patty! Love the embossing, image, and star charm! I'm sure your son will appreciate this awesome card!
