Crafter's Companion recently released 8 new embossing folders … and right now you can pick any 3 of the 6" Embossalicious folders for the price of 2. These folders fit perfectly through my Cuttlebug and easily cover the entire card front.
My card features the new folder 6" folder Ornate Butterflies. I love how the embossed lines are wide enough that it was easy to detail cut out one of the Butterflies from the embossed pattern to use as my embellishment.
I used gold and copper shimmer paper inspired by the gorgeous autumn photo at Just Us Girls. The positioning of the copper on the bottom and gold on the top was inspired by the tall candle … with the graduated golden pearls like candle flames.
The sketch is from a new-to-me challenge blog … STAMPlorations. My sentiment stamp is the always elegant Flowing Happy Birthday stamped in Candied Yam Chalk Ink … isn't that the perfect name for an autumn card.
Wow! I love the rich, gorgeous colors you used, and how fun is that embossing folder! Great job! Thanks so much for joining us at Just Us Girls this week. I hope you will come back and play again.

Oh my, you handcut the butterfly? Beautiful work, Stef! Love the brightness of the card!
Your card is gorgeous, Stephanie — from the embossing to the cut-out butterfly, the color combo, pearl accents, and sentiment. It’s a wonderful autumn-inspired birthday card. Thanks so much for using the sketch!
