Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration challenge is a pretty butterfly art print!

SKETCHED BUTTERFLIES

I just got this bundle on my order and had to use it on today’s Inspirational Monday challenge! Worked great! I haven’t done a vintage card in a LONG time!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Early Expresso cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic Beige cardstock was torn along the top and bottom. It was embossed with the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder.
The edges were brushed with Pecan Pie Ink using a Blending Brush. Some Boho Blue was lightly added in the center. It was added to the front of the base card.
Two butterflies from Sketched Butterflies stamps set were stamped with Early Espresso Ink on Basic White cardstock, brushed with Pecan Pie and Boho Blue Inks, and cut with the Sketched Butterflies Dies. They were added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The greeting from Sketched Butterflies was stamped with Early Espresso Ink on 1 x 2 piece of Crumb Cake cardstock and the edges torn. It was brushed with Pecan Pie Ink around the edges.
Some Linen Thread was wrapped several times and added to the front with a Stampin’ Dimensional. The greeting was added over the Linen Thread.
A trio of Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins were added in the background.

So pretty! Love how it turned out! OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
