Casing Selma!!

Do you know about Selma's blog?  It's fabulous and she is one of the queens of Marianne Dies.  I made this card for the challenge on Classy Cards N Such, the butterfly on the front is Cheery Lynn die with the angel wing behind it.  Some of their dies have solid ones for backing them. All other dies are Marianne, I tried to CASE Selma's card today, LOL  it was fun but I had challenges with it.  I didn't have the exact same dies so I improvised on a few things.  This is also using the Technique challenge on SCS for Patina.  I cut the edges on the back piece and then cut the pretty circle and ran it through on a cuttlebug folder. Then I applied some inks and versamark and embossing powder to get the patina look.  I added some peel off borders, a bow dyed with the same inks and flower to finish the card.  Selma has a step by step tutorial on her blog to help you make this card.
