The Progression of the Embellishments

  Today's card shows how I took a simple card and added embellishments. After all, the challenge at Virginia's View is on that very thing..EMBELLISHMENTS.  Something I often over look, and more often than not, OVER-DO when I try to add them to my cards.  HA!

•  First of all, I'm playing with this Clearly Besotted set I just purchased..and cut to pieces.  Every image in the set is now an individual stamp in itself. 
• For those of you who do not own the set, there are only 8 separate stamps in it's original state. My set now has 19.:))  
• I also used the BE-YOU-TIFUL die from ESSENTIALS BY ELLEN.  
• The color palette is from the Challenge at the Pinterest Inspired Challenge.

 I Simply stamped a bouquet, then die-cut the BE-YOU-TIFUL plus in 4 layers of black cardstock and glued it back into place.

 Then I added some Clear Wink of Stella on the BE-YOU-TIFUL and placed several Sequins.

 Then splattered some SILVER wink of STELLA and nestled a few knots of twine behind the die.

 I KNOW I like the First CLEAN version best...not sure about each of the other added Embellishments...Do you have a FAVE?

Thanks for stopping by!

Adding this to the Challenge over at Ellen Hutson,  August Mix It Up Challenge with Clearly Besotted. There is a $50 gift card up for grabs..By the way, I'm in LOVE with the way Ellen's dies are packaged:)) magnets and super sturdy plastic envelope.
