I am going to start my Tip of the Day again! It's been awhile since I have done it and you might see some repeats for those who have not read them before so here we go!
TIP OF THE DAY: Cuttlebug. Does your B plate curve or arc when you are embossing with Die cuts? Or does your paper come out of the die? My B plates have curved so much I had to replace them. Now mine are flat as can be and my embossing is deeper, more crisp and the paper never comes out of the dies. This is what I do. Instead of using two tan embossing mats, I took a cereal box and cut two pieces out of it the size of my B plate. My sandwich for embossing is: B plate, die cut and paper, cardboard, tan mat, card board and B plate. By switching out one tan mat for two pieces of cardboard your plates remain flat with deeper embossing!
Today my card is made with Carmen Medlin's "Siren's Call" from the Natural Beauty Collection only available at SCACD. Isn't she adorable in her gorgeous dress? I had so much fun coloring her and you will too!

Beyond gorgeous Colleen!! Love your coloring and all the sweet little details! And I must be nutz, too - I love the smell of fresh cut grass and dirt, too, lol.
Hi Colleen,
This is lovely... love the butterfly and the mermaid has such nice, soothing colours.
Thanks for the tip about Cuttlebug and it's plates. My B plates kind of look totally warped. And I just acquired them like 8 months ago...
