Absolutely stunning. I love the vintage look. I really like the crumpled page from the book on the second ATC. Although it kills me to destroy a book....if it's for a good cause it's ok, and this card is definitely worth it!
The back for the "Botanica" card was made from a scrap of printed paper from a Recollections exclusive paper pack. Then I used a couple of items from my stash to create a monochrome layering underneath the botanica card that came from a Graphic 45 botanical themed tag pages. I inked everything with a hunter green Stampin' Up stamp pad. The butterfly was made using a Sizzix sizzlets folder. I finished off the card with the green button and some gold toned stickles.
The pink & brown card, "Paper Wings" card, I did a couple of different techniques I wanted to try out. I started with a scrap piece of paper from a DCWV paper pack (I think) and then crumpled up a piece of paper from an old penguin paperback book. I inked it before and after I crumpled it. I ran a bunch of tape on top of the card backing and then scrunched and folded the paper as I taped it to the card back. I then went in and glued down the larger folds and the edges of the paper along the card edge. After it was dry I inked it again. I used a scrap of glittered butterfly paper from a DCWV page across the bottom, then glued the braided trim. The acrylic embellishment came from a large set of embellishments that I got a long time ago, I saved it from languishing in my stash to add it to the card. I then took three butterflies, made from the same sizzix sizzlit as the green one, and curled the wings in different directions of each layer, then used dimensional pop strips in the center of the butterflies - but glued the very bottom of the wings flat against each other to create a popped up 3D effect. I used smaller butterflies, cut from the same sizzlit, to accent the card along with some liquid pearls.
