Butterfly Card |
S imple sweet butterfly card. Thank you Wendy Cranford for the beautiful birthday card! I took inspiration from Wendy’s Clean and Simple monochromatic design. Wendy chose In Color DSP with dots and matching Stampin' Pad in Misty Moonlight. Wendy stamped gorgeous butterflies from Butterfly Wishes 149346. I don’t have that set or the In Color paper and went with a pretty paper from my stash and designed the rest of the card with additional embellishments to make it work with my paper!

Stamp butterflies and sentiment in Marina Mist on a 2 5/8" x 3 3/4" piece of whisper white cardstock, keep in mind that this will be die cut to 2 1/2" x 3 1/8".
Die cut the image using the 2 1/2" x 3 1/8" scalloped rectangle from Painted Poppies, color the butterflies with Stampin' Right Markers from the Subtles collection in So Saffron, Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam. Lightly sponge Marina Mist on the edges of the card with a sponge dauber.
Cut an 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of whisper white cardstock in half at 5 1/2" and score at 4 1/4".for the base card.
Cut a piece of Designer Series Paper 3' x 5 1/2" and adhere to front panel slightly below center using the adhesive of your choice. Glue allows you to move the paper to straighten and align it how you want it. I made four cards with this color scheme and two of the four have borders added to cover my crooked placement permanently attached with Stampin' Seal!
Attach the stamped rectangle to the card front with Dimensional’s to pop it up. I added a few Grapefruit Grove Faceted Dots to cover a boo boo, and Lacey Border die cuts from Ornate Borders, cut from Mint Macaron cardstock on the top and bottom of the Designer Series paper. I decorated the inside of the card with the flower border from Ornate Borders in Mint Macaron.
I still had a little Designer Series Paper left over from cutting the front panel, and cut a 5 1/2" x 6" piece of it for an envelope liner. I decorated the outside of the envelope with small flowers from Bloom by Bloom Stamp Set in Marina Mist and Soft Sky ink, and stamped center of Marina Mist flowers with Whisper White Craft ink. All done!
