I used the Kinda Eclectic and Painted Petals stamp sets from Stampin’ Up! to create my card to share today.

My card design was inspired by CAS(E) this Sketch #114.

And by Just Us Girls #284.

I started by cutting the two Sahara Sand card stock panels and adhering them together with just a touch of SNAIL, only enough to hold them in place while I stamped, not enough to permanently adhere them.

I stamped the sun image from the Kinda Eclectic stamp set in VersaMark Ink across both panels and heat embossed it with Crushed Curry Stampin’ Emboss Powder.  Then I stamped the leaf image from the Kinda Eclectic stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink and the splatters from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set in Sahara Sand ink across both panels.

I took the two layers apart, then stamped the sentiment from the Painted Petals stamp set in Night of Navy ink on the center panel.  I adhered a panel of Night of Navy card stock to the smaller panel, then adhered the panel to the larger Sahara Sand panel and to a Night of Navy card base with SNAIL.

I stamped the larger butterfly image from the Kinda Eclectic stamp set in Calypso Coral ink on a Calypso Coral card stock panel, punched it out with the Elegant Butterfly Punch and adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I stamped the smaller butterfly from the Kinda Eclectic stamp set in VersaMark ink on a Crushed Curry panel, heat embossed it with Crushed Curry Stampin’ Emboss Powder, punched it out with the Bitty Butterfly Punch and adhered it with a Glue Dot to the larger butterfly.

I pulled a strand of Linen Thread through a Mossy Meadow button from the In Color Accessory Pack (Sale-A-Bration item), tied a bow and adhered it with a Glue Dot to the card front.

I stamped the Gorgeous Grunge splatters in Sahara Sand ink and the Kinda Electic leaves in Mossy Meadow ink and butterfly in Calypso Coral ink on a Sahara Sand card stock panel inside the card.
