There were so many options with this inspiration, all of them lovely and fun. The first card was based on Premier 6 and I went with the colors of pink, black and white. I had still not had a chance to play with the newest StampTV kit and really wanted to use that. I love the bird cage and decided to emboss it in black and cut it out. On the background I took out Melanie's Wild at Heart and stamped it with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink. Then highlighted it a little with my Sakura pen. A black bow and some silver cord to look like a chain. The sentiment was from a rub on.
The second card was from the Premier 9 and I followed the sketch and the monochromatic white. I stuck with the StampTV kit and used one of the butterflies. I stamped it on velum four times and used some pearl ex to make them sparkle 2 in a blue and two in white. I then carefully cut them out and popped them up. I added some of the flowers and put some pearls around it.

Both cards are very pretty. I really love the butterflies on the 2nd card, but then I am a bit biased when it comes to butterflies.
These are outstanding Miesje! I LOVE that you gave a little love to the 9th cookie - I think you are the only one who did, and you did beautifully. The double layered vellum butterflies look so soft and delicate and I LOVE their pearl tails. And the scoring and pearled flowers... Breath-taking! You embossed birdcage with the cute little birdie in the center is pretty too.
Both projects are so different! And both so fun! Thanks so much for the fun hop :)
