I used the Stampin’ Up! stamp sets called Butterfly Basics and Six-Sided Sampler to create my card to share today.
My card design was inspired by Retro Sketches #165.
The colors for my card were inspired by The Card Concept #35. I went with the Clean and Layered look again.
I started by stamping the sentiment from the Six-Sided Sampler stamp set in Blushing Bride ink on a panel of Blushing Bride card stock, then I adhered the panel to a So Saffron card base with SNAIL.
I sponged So Saffron ink on a Tea Lace Paper Doily, then cut the doily into pieces and adhered it to the card front with SNAIL. I embossed a panel of Very Vanilla card stock with the Happy Heart Embossing Folder, adhered it to a panel of So Saffron card stock, then to the card front with SNAIL.
I inked up the butterfly image from the Butterfly Basics stamp set in Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride and then So Saffron Inks and stamped the images on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock. For the final butterfly, I inked the image in So Saffron and then used a Sponge Dauber to add Blushing Bride ink to the top half. I cut the butterflies out with the Butterflies Thinlits Die and adhered them to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I tied little bows with Linen Thread through So Saffron and Blushing Bride buttons from the Subtles Designer Buttons pack, then adhered them to the card front with Glue Dots.
I stamped the image from the Butterfly Basics stamp set again in Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride and So Saffron inks on a Very Vanilla panel inside the card.
