Welcome to Create with Stamping Friends Creatively Simple Challenge! Each month Debbie and I will pick a theme for our simple cards. It’s a new month and July’s theme is “Summer”. Cards that have a represent the warmer temps and longer days…at least here in Ohio!
SKETCHED BUTTERFLIES
Lots of butterflies are flitting around the garden, so that definitely means summer is here! This card is SO easy to pull together, but it looks like it takes more time with all the coloring, doesn’t it? Nope! I used Blending Brushes to color the Basic Black images stamped on Basic White! Easy peasy!
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Pretty in Pink cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Thoughtful Journey Designer Paper was added on top.
- A 2 x 5-1/4 strip of Boho Blue cardstock was stamped with the butterfly cluster in Gray Granite Ink across the top, then was added down the center of the card.
- The three butterflies from Sketched Butterflies Stamp Set were stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White. The large one colored with Petunia Pop and Pumpkin Pie Inks. The second one with Coastal Cabana and Lemon Lime Twist Inks. The smallest one with Daffodil Delight Ink. I used the Blending Brushes to add the ink.
- The bodies were colored with Light Basic Black Stampin’ Blends.
- The butterflies were cut with the Sketched Butterflies Dies and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The Sketched Butterflies greeting was stamped with Memento Black Ink on a 5/8 x 3-1/2 piece of Pretty in Pink cardstock and added to the front.
- A trio of yellow Shiny Adhesive Backed Sequins were added in the background.
