I was so excited to finally receive the Perfectly Preserved set and play with it. Based on the many samples that have already appeared online, I am predicting this will be a popular one. I was looking at my stash of patterned paper to get started on the card and found the Afternoon Daydream SS kit, which I haven't used yet. As I pulled out the sticky die-cuts sheets and spotted the butterflies, I knew they would work perfectly with the preserve image!
The top of the preserve was die-cut out of actual Designer fabric using the Preserve Framelits and I tied a piece of Pool Party baker's twine around it. (I glued the fabric on a scrap of cardstock using Snail before die-cutting it so that the fabric would be easier to handle.) The preserve was stamped in Basic Grey on Whisper White cardstock and I added the two butterflies inside, then decorated their bodies with three little pearls.
To create the mat for the image, I used the new Framelits that are coming out in the seasonal catalogue called Window Frames. I drew a smaller frame inside using markers and a smaller size of Framelits as a template.
The sentiment comes from the Seasonal Sayings set (also from the seasonal catalogue). Isn't it cute? I inked it with markers to get the two tones, die-cut it with a frame from the Apothecary Accents Framelits set and added two Pool Party In Color polka dot brads.
The back flower was created by adding sticky die-cuts to a doily that was die-cut using the new Delicate Doilies Sizzlits die. The two white borders were also created using the Big Shot (Delicate Designs embossing folder and Large Scallops Edgelit) and I added a sticky die-cut to create the grey border.
