Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Please be sure to visit everyone’s blog to see the great projects they are sharing with you today. I used the new Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (available FREE with a $50 purchase starting today!) and the Rooted in Nature stamp set for today’s card. We are working with a great sketch challenge this week. Here’s my card:
And here’s the sketch we are using:
The Botanical Butterfly DSP has full color botanical images on one side and black and white images on the other side. They pair together beautifully. Check out the full-color fussy-cut butterflies and the standout black and white paper in the background. And it’s FREE – can’t get any better.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere a panel of the DSP to a Balmy Blue card stock mat before adhering to a Highland Heather card stock base. Stamp the sentiment from the Rooted in Nature stamp set with StazOn Jet Black ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock. Cut it out with a die from the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies and mat with a Balmy Blue card stock scalloped oval mat.
Use Paper Snips to fussy-cut a few butterflies from the DSP. Lift up their wings a bit and adhere just the bodies to the sentiment panel with Glue Dots or Liquid Glue. Take a length of Gorgeous Grape Mini Striped Ribbon and loop it a couple times behind the sentiment panel before adhering it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
For the inside of the card, adhere a panel of Whisper White card stock to a mat of Balmy Blue card stock before adhering to the card base with Liquid Glue. Adhere another fussy-cut butterfly to the inside panel – beautiful!
