Butterflies

I got to play with some new stamp sets and accessories yesterday! I preordered this set from the upcoming Mini Catalog, Great Friend. I saw this card and was inspired to make something with this set.

The card base is a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ piece of textured Kiwi Kiss, folded in half. Next, is a layer of Apricot Appeal, with a piece of Urban Garden DSP on top. The two strips were made up of 1 1/2″ x 4 3/4″ pieces of Chocolate Chip cardstock, layered with a 1 1/4″ strip of Whisper White. I stamped the leafy stamp, also from Great Friend in Kiwi Kiss ink, and stamped off to get a two-tone effect.

At the ends of the strips, I attached the glittery butterflies. To make the butterflies, I stamped the image in Versamark on Whisper White card stock, twice. Then I applied Heat and Stick powder and heat set it to activate. Next, I put on some Supernova Glitter, one in Pink and the other in Brown. Brush off any excess glitter with a soft tissue and cut the glittery butterflies out with scissors. To give them some height, I adhered them to the card with dimensionals.

In the center of the card, I stamped the sentiment from Great Friend on Whisper White using my SU Markers. I colored in the text with Chocolate chip and the “friend” with Cameo Coral. Then, I punched out the sentiment with my 1 3/8″ circle punch and adhered it to a Chocolate Chip circle cut out with my 1 3/4″ circle punch. For added interest, I used my paper piercer to make holes around the edge of the circle. This was also adhered to the card with dimensionals.
