I have a need for Sympathy cards recently...... a nice soft shimmery Blue will do....... I am loving the blues with a hint of teal in them lately too........
AND
I am in need of LOTS of Birthday cards this month.......
I am a lover of Pink as well....... What do you think???
I used shimmery cardstock from Paper Temptress, and embossed the beautiful frame and sentiments in Queens Gold EP. Be sure to use the antistatic pad so the EP stays put! I used Parchment Vellum and White EP for the butterflies, and added pearls to the centers. I just glued down the centers of the butterflies.
Here are the supplies I used for these cards:

Very pretty cards and love the butterfly accent. Thanks for playing along with us at Cards in Envy.
It's beautiful either in pink or blue!! Really does have a shimmer too. Since my favorite color is blue I'll go with that but do love it in pink as well.

Two very pretty cards. Love the embossing on both and the soft colors.
Both are beautiful! Love the gold embossing!! Especially LOVE those butterflies!!
I'm thinking that I love blue…and pink! Isn't it amazing how a similar design works perfectly with two different sentiments. The gold embossing is just wonderful here, Shelly it adds the perfect amount of elegance.
Both gorgeous cards Shelley. I saw these on MIM..Loz
Beautiful cards! Both are so pretty and of course, I love the pink one for our challenge at Cards in ENvy! Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks for joining us at Eureka Stamps this week.
I think they both came out fantastic! So elegant with the pop of gold! I'm convinced there isn't anything you c an't do with paper!
Wow! These are spectacular! Very simple but so beautiful and elegant. I've been really lazy this week with creating and blogging. I am working on my blog post for the award you gave me. Thanks! I'm having trouble getting myself motivated this week. Sounds like we have more snow coming. Bummer!
Nice birthday card and love the butterfly out of vellum. Thanks for playing at Cards in Envy.
