I used the Stampin’ Up! Catching Butterflies stamp set to create my project for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We’ve got a theme challenge this week and this is what I made for it.
Here is the theme that we’re using this week:
My card design was inspired by The Paper Players PP575.
I started by adhering a panel of the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP (Sale-a-bration item) to the front of a Bermuda Bay card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Then I stamped the images of the girl and butterflies from the Catching Butterflies stamp set (Sale-a-bration item) in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on a panel of Basic White card stock.
I colored the images with Light and Dark Pool Party, Magenta Madness, So Saffron and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers as well as the SU 400, SU 500, SU900 and SU1000 Stampin’ Blends (available February 1). I used the Color Lifter to lighten the Smoky Slate ink and then cut the images out with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I cut a small strip of Sunshine & Rainbows DSP with the same Stitched Rectangle Die and then adhered the die cuts together with Stampin’ Seal.
I wrapped a strand of Linen Thread around the rectangle twice and tied a bow, then adhered the die cut to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Catching Butterflies stamp set in VersaMark ink on a panel of Bermuda Bay card stock, sprinkled it with white embossing powder from the Basics Embossing Powders pack and heat embossed it. I cut the image out with another one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front. I added three Brushed Brass Butterflies to finish the card front.
I adhered a strip of Sunshine & Rainbows DSP to a panel of Basic White card stock to finish the inside of the card.
