Welcome to Create with Connie and Mary’s Creatively Simple Challenge! Each month Mary and I will pick a theme…this month it is “THINGS THAT FLY”, and we each create a simple card every Tuesday using that theme!
Here’s a simple card that allows the Fern Embossing Folder and small swatch of Wonderful World Designer Paper to accessorize the Best Butterfly image!
BEST BUTTERFLIES
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was embossed with the Fern Embossing Folder and added to the front of the base card.
- A 1-1/4 x 4 piece of Wonderful World Designer Paper (a FREE Sale-A-Bration product) was added towards the bottom with a 1/4 x 4 piece of Polished Pink cardstock at the bottom.
- The butterfly was stamped with Daffodil Delight Ink and Polished Pink Ink and the body with Memento Black Ink and all were cut with the Build a Butterfly Dies. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Two large Iridescent Rhinestones were added to the body.
- The greeting From Happiness Abounds was stamped with Memento Black Ink on 1/2 x 2-1/2 Basic White cardstock and cut the end at an angle. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I love that Fern embossed background…it is hard to photograph but is really detailed! OK, check out what Mary did with this week’s Creatively Simple Things That Fly Theme over on Create with Connie and Mary!
