January 12, 2015 By Connie | 6 Comments

So…in celebration of Mary’s project, I used the beautiful Butterfly Thinlet on my card today!  I was going for a white tone-on-tone look, but I just couldn’t get away from putting some color on here.  So, I think the soft Crisp Cantaloupe was a good compromise.

 

Butterfly Thinlet

Here are the details:

  • The base is 4 1/4 x 11 Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock, folded in half.
  • On top is a 4 x 5 1/4 layer of Sahara Sand.
  • The next layer is 3-3/4 x 5 Something Borrowed Designer Paper…I LOVE that DSP…every pattern in that package is gorgeous!
  • I used a 3/4 x 4 strip of Whisper White and stamped the greeting from the Sale-A-Bration set, Simply Wonderful with Tuxedo Black Ink.
  • I cut the butterfly with the Butterfly Thinlet from Whisper White and added some of the flower trim in the Artisan Embellishments kit to the body!

 

Really…a very simple card, but the DSP and butterfly really add a lot of WOW factor to it!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 19 years and had my 18th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    Beautiful and elegant card. Love this background stamp, works so well with this butterfly as both are so delicate. I see a case in my future.
