I used the dry embossing challenge for a Birthday Card for Dana from JUGS #7,
the design from Mojo Monday #133, and the acetate challenge from Crazy4Challenges Week 11 to make this card for the Fabulous Dana! Dana was one of the first bloggers who added my blog as a favorite and I felt so honored! The least I could do is make a card for her. I wish I could mail it to her!
I used three different embossing folders to create all of the effects and a nestabilities to highlight my sentiment inside. (I heard Dana likes the insides decorated, too!
I embossed the little butterflies by placing them inside my Cuttlebug butterfly embossing folder so I could create embossed swirls. Hope you have a Fabulous Birthday, Dana! In fact, you get cards celebrating YOU all week!

Paper - All PTI - White, lemon tart, hibiscus, spring moss, office depot acetate

Awe Sue! That is such a pretty card! I love all your layering & embossing :) I think that is a cute story how you cut out the sentiment. I love all the glam on your card & how you incorporated the use of acetate. I haven't used that yet-you keep introducing me to new things!! Thank you so much for playing along with Just Us Girls & for celebrating Dana's with such a heartfelt post! :)
Oh my goodness, this is gorgeous Sue! Love the embossing and well...everything!
gorgeous card! Very innovative too! I like the way you used the sketch as part of the openning to your card, not to mention inside the card too! Great take on the card!
BTW, thanks for leaving a comment on my card too! You can buy the Twilight stamp set in BARNES & NoBles! Really good stamps!
Splendiferous Sue - love this - all the color and the bling and the acetate! WONDERFUl - I'm sure Dana will love it - even virtually. Thanks SO MUCH for playing along with Just Us Girls again. We are loving seeing some “regulars” come back each week! Hope to see you again on Saturday for our next challenge!
Sue, you are such a sweetheart! Dana would absolutely ADORE this card with all the color (yes, that was me) and the interior decoration :O) You SHOULD send it to her! Email me and I'll send you her address. She hasn't been feeling 100% this week so I think some additional belated birthday wishes might perk her up! Such a beautiful card, and I love how warm your post for Dana's birthday is. Thank you also for taking the time to comment on many of the other submissions for our challenge! Every comment means so much...

Hey Sue, me again! I am finally feeling myself and wanted to re-comment on your super sweet post and gorgeous birthday card you made. I was so out of it with the swine flu that I didn't even notice the wonderful acetate base you used or much of anything. So I apoligize for not seeing everything the first time but I can see clearly now, as the song says :), and this card is quite wonderful. Thanks girlie!
