Welcome to the March 2019 All Star Tutorial Team blog hop, I hope your are ready for some crafty inspiration from all around the world. I cut into another piece of the beautiful Botanical Butterfly DSP for my card today, I was thinking of my grandmothers when creating this card, both for the colour and the floral design. It's no secret that I struggle to cut into my DSP,... so you wouldn't be surprised when I say I also tend to "hold onto" card stock scraps too! I was raised with a "waste not, want not" pholosphy, my mum always had left over material when she did dressmaking, and taught me to lay patterns to get the most out of the piece of material.  When I create cards, I naturally apply the same rules - and when you are layering/matting your project it is the perfect opportunity to make the most of a piece of card stock, and you can't even tell! Watch the quick clip below to see how I made the most of my layers. I...

For my creation, I've used a combination of stamping and die cuts, and for something out of the square for me I didn't layer or mat my card base, instead I created the "mat" by stamping the Blushing Bride background (ever so lightly) with the Crackle Paint Stamp. By using VersaMark for the background stamping made it quite delicate, and so that I didn't have straight egdes, I tore paper and created a mask around the edge of the card before stamping. The wood elements and Metallic Pearls fini...
