Hello friends
Thank you for all the brilliant comments yesterday.
I'm afraid I do not have a set of Gold Labels Four to give away ...
(some followers thought perhaps I had),
but please keep your eyes peeled as I do have more giveaways coming up.
I received a few comments and emails asking the difference between emboss and deboss.
Hopefully I can clarify.....
Debossing is the reverse of embossing.
With traditional embossing the pattern impression is pushed upwards into the paper/card.
With debossing the impression is downwards. With the new Imperial Gold dies
you get a mixture of both emboss and deboss - up and down!
The tag and butterflies returned yesterday..I have missed them.
In fact I thought I would go back through my photo files and find something else butterfly-ish to share today.
(What I'm really trying to do is encourage Spring to arrive!)
I think this tag ticks all the boxes.
Using Les Papillions - the die on its own initially to create an emboss into the stamped tag.
and then the die cuts placed over the top.
I'm struggling to decide which butterflies I like the most Les Papillions or Les Papillions Two -
actually I cannot decide - I like them both equally.
Those little flowers and leaves from Homespun have appeared again too.
I hope the sun is shining where you are today - have a lovely Saturday.
Take care.
Hi Christine, well it would not be a tag or card by you without a butterfly somewhere, lovely. Have a great weekend although I believe you will be busy.

Hi Christine,
ReplyDeleteGreat tag, I have these butterflies too and they end up on nearly every card I make (not man cards though) although there's always a first.
Enjoy your weekend.

Hi Christine
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous tag as always, the butterflies are stunning!
Wonder if you can help please? Is there a way to search your blog for a particular project by any chance? I was wanting to find your shopping lists you've made in the past. No worries if not, but just wondering if I'm missing something obvious!
Have a lovely day.

ReplyDeleteLove this tag. The Red of the butterfly makes such an impact that your eyes are drawn to them. Hope it stops raining soon. Take care. Janice xx
ReplyDeleteButterflies are butterflies Christine, you do not have to choose, they are ALL beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend, Carolyn x
ooh stunning tag! I like the first butterfly set best - I haven't bought it yet though, its on my wish list! xx
ReplyDeleteHi Christine, Wow, we had a bit of sunshine this afternoon, and now the heavens have opened and it is throwing it down.
ReplyDeleteLoving the colours on your tag, uplifting, loving both sets of Les Papillon butterflies, I have both dies.
I have been creating a 60th birthday card for a work colleague, this afternoon, not finished yet, used the botanical swirls and accents and will be using les papillon too.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Lovely Tag Christine - you really are trying your best to bring Spring to us - Yes it has rained most of the day here in the North too!
