A clean and simple design that packs some punch. The Real Red Butterfly takes center stage against the warm early tones of Crumb Cake and Soft Suede.
The card base is 4 1/2" square. The sentiment panel base which is popped up on Stampin' Dimensionals is 2 x 3 3/4" and the next layer is 1/8" smaller all around. The honeycomb design (from the Butterfly Basics Stamp Set) was created by stamping the image in Crumb Cake ink onto the Crumb Cake card stock. The Butterfly was glued onto the sentiment panel so it floats on the card.
My card was inspired by the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge this week.
And the three accents at the top of the card are Pearl Basic Jewels that were colored with the medium Cherry Cobbler Blendability.
The Butterfly Basics Bundle is a must have. The images in the stamp set are fabulous and very versatile and the Butterflies Thinlits Dies are over the top. Stampers Note: I use wax paper between the die and my card stock when I run it through my Big Shot. The butterfly comes out very cleanly.
I hope you are having a great week. I would love to see what you would do with this colors. Join me and link up your creation at the Pals Paper Arts site. Thanks for stopping by.
