Cards in Envy - Hip to be Square

Welcome back CIE friends for another fun challenge!  This time we'd like to see squares on your cards, and yes, square cards also count.  Just make sure they aren't too lumpy or bumpy and will fit in an envy. 


For my DT card, I grabbed my "new" stencil brush and Distress Inks (Tumbled Glass and a little Spun Sugar at the top) to create a light blue ombre background on Bazzill cardstock.  (My stencil brush used to be my good makeup brush :)  I used a Sizzix butterfly embossing folder on the card front before I popped up the inlaid tri-square butterfly die cut from Poppy Stamps.  The sentiment is from Stamp of Approval stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black.  Finally, I spritzed the entire card with MFT's Sheer Shimmer and a few Doodlebug Sprinkles were glued on for more sparkly goodness. 

We can't wait to see how square you can be in the Cards in Envy Hip to be Square Challenge!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

  1. Annie, This is absolutely gorgeous! It is so delicate, so well designed, so perfectly balanced. And that ombre inking.... looks like I need to get a "stencil" brush of my own. :)
