I'm excited to be the hostess for this week's Use It! Challenge. I had a blast making my card and coming up with the challenge. Here are the requirements:1. Add some texture (felt, flower soft, velvet ribbon, etc.). I embossed my main panel.
2. Use at least 2 punches. I used 2 butterfly punches, a border punch, and a corner rounder.
3. Use paper from your favorite manufacturer. Mine is BasicGrey.
4. *Bonus* Add some pearls as your finishing touch.
Now, I expect all of you to play along. ;) So get busy and make your card, then link it up on the Use It! blog. I can't wait to see what everyone creates!
BTW, since I'm on a roll this week with multiple challenges, this card is also for Flutter By Wednesday #65 and Belli Challenge #69.

Paper: Cool Caribbean, PTI white, BasicGrey Lemonade dp
Ink: Cool Caribbean
Accessories: Martha Stewart classic butterfly, 3-in-1 classic butterfly, & scalloped dot punches, corner rounder punch, ribbon (American Crafts), button (BasicGrey), pearls (Kaisercraft), Cuttlebug Swiss Dots
