When I saw these wonderful cards by Barb G., I commented that I hadn't seen
this beautiful butterfly die or even heard of Concord & 9th.
Barb quickly emailed me and asked if I would like her to send me a few die cuts.
Of course I said yes!
Thanks so much, Barb!
Since I was doing some backgrounds with Inka Gold,
I smooshed some of the die cuts too.
Isn't this pretty?
Love this die!
And the embossing folder is a sneak peek from the new Stampin' Up! catalog.
Here is another of the dies from this set.
Be sure to check back tomorrow for our new challenge at
CAS Mix Up.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards and dies! I love concord and 9th!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like that butterfly is pretty popular. It looks fabulous with the embossing, Bonnie.
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely beautiful! I love how you've given the white a special bit of oomph with the embossing and I adore the delicate die shapes you chose to work with. And you can't beat those shades of turquoise! These are the epitome of subtle elegance with a pop of flair! Great work and I'm so glad you shared these with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
ReplyDeleteBoy, you've been busy, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteLove these cards... I think i may have to buy the flower for myself :)
I'm kicking myself for being so late with my visit, especially after seeing what a gorgeous job you've done with your die cuts, Bonnie! I love the effect of Inka Gold...the shimmer is amazing and your CAS designs are just perfect! Love them both!
ReplyDeleteLove these dies -- I have them and they are just the sweetest. You cards show them off perfectly in that shimmery smooshed background!
