It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge. It’s a fun sketch challenge this week!
SKETCHED BUTTERFLIES
I sure wish we had a set of large oval dies in Stampin’ Up!’s lineup! I miss them! I’ve kept the retired set for personal use…I just love that shape! But I figured the Nested Essentials Dies would work in this case!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Pumpkin Pie cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Daffodil Delight was stamped across the top with the small butterflies in Daffodil Delight Ink randomly.
- A 3 x 5-1/4 piece of Full of Life Designer Paper was cut on the diagonal and added to the bottom of the Daffodil Delight cardtsock.
- A sliver of Basic Black cardstock was added cross the seam and trimmed to fit.
- Some Basic White cardstock was cut with the second from largest Nested Essentials Die and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The greeting was stamped with Memento Black Ink on a 1/2 x 3 piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock and the end flag cut. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- I had the butterflies finished on my desk. They were stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock. Blending Brushes were used to add Berry Burst, Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight Inks to them, then cut with the Sketched Butterflies Dies. The Stampin’ Dimensionals were placed just under the body portion and added to the front of the card.
- Some pink Adhesive Backed Sequins Trio were added to the background and one large green to the large butterfly body and one small green to the smaller butterfly body.
- Some black Essentials Baker’s Twine was tied in a bow and added to the large butterfly body with a Mini Glue Dot.
That is bright and cheerful card, isn’t it? OK, go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Stamping Friends.
