Blossoming Basket Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set

Hey everyone!  How are you today?  We made it to the weekend and I thought it was high time that I shared one of the NEW Sale-a-bration stamp sets that was just released.  It's called Blossoming Basket.  I thought I would be a little bit of a rebel though and focus on the little butterfly in the set and avoid the basket for now.  (I do love the basket, and will give it love later).

I used Very Vanilla card stock and stamped the butterflies fluttering up across my paper.  I tried to make an ombre look by going from light to dark using Soft Sky, Marina Mist and Night as Navy inks.  I then sponged the coordinating color a bit to give it a soft smudgy look.   I then heat embossed in silver on vellum paper, a fun little stamp in another free stamp set available during Sale-a-bration called Amazing You.  This image is actually half of the sunburst, but I did it twice to make the full circle.  Using some ombre ribbon, some metallic thread and stamping my sentiment with an ombre effect using Marina Mist and Night of Navy.  To finish it all off, I added a few of the Metallics Sequin Assortment to bling it a bit.  

I really love this card.  I should have made a bunch of them because now I only have 1 and will have to find someone extra special to send it to.
