I saw this card by Michelle over on The Card Grotto blog and knew I had to CASE it! Love her balloon!!
**(Note to self: BUY A BALLOON DIE CUT OR PUNCH!!!)**
I die cut the rectangle and adhered the patterned paper behind it. Then I punched the butterfly out of some paper I had practiced spraying Heidi Swapp's Color Shine on--such a gorgeous teal color!
I drew the butterfly trail by hand. And dang it, I'm OK with it. ;-)
I stamped the sentiment, then cut the banner shape out of white cardstock--the same CS I used for the large panel.
The banner is popped up a bit using Pop Dots.
Super fast to make. Now the ideas are forming! I noticed a kite die cut in my LSS that I might have to snag!
Supplies:
Paper: Recollections (white card blank); GinaK (white cardstock); snippet (unknown pattern paper--might be BoBunny)
Stamp: Hampton Arts (sentiment)
Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Black Soot)
ETC: Martha Stewart (butterfly punch); Nestabilities (rectangle die cut); Marvy-Uchida (square punch to make banner tails); American Crafts (Pigment Pro for butterfly trail); Heidi Swapp Color Shine (teal); EK Success (3D Pop Dots)
I tried to make this card manly, as it's headed to the husband of a friend of mine. I'm not sure it's all that masculine, but at least the butterfly isn't PINK!! =D
Happy weekend, y'all!!
