JustRite Friday Challenge #095 - Window Of Opportunity

For the JustRite Friday Challenge #095 - Window Of Opportunity,  on the front of my creation I stamped the "Ticking Stripe" background stamp by JustRite Papercraft onto white card stock with Versa Mark ink, then used black embossing powder.  Next, I cut out my window with Labels Twenty by Spellbinders PaperArts.  The black frame is created using two of the Label Twenty's, one inside the other.  To create the butterflies I used "Botanical Butterflies" by JustRite Papercraft.  I stamped the butterfly onto pink card stock with Versa Mark ink and embossed with black powder.  My swirls were created using Marianne Createables Dies with white pearls.



On the inside of my creation, I again stamped the "Ticking Stripe" background onto pink card stock with Versa Mark ink and used black embossing powder.  Next, I added two stripes of this to the top and bottom of my plain pink card stock.  To create my sentiment, I stamped "Fleur De Lis Labels Twenty" by JustRite Papercraft onto white card stock with Versa Mark ink and again used black embossing powder.  I cut out my sentiment with Labels Twenty by Spellbinders PaperArts.  Next, I cut out a larger Label Twenty to create the background frame.  My finishing touch to the inside is I added "Want 2 Scrap Nestabling" by Spellbinders PaperArts onto the outside of my sentiment.
