You can create a card exactly using the sketch layout or change it up a bit. You can also turn the sketch so if it is a vertical sketch you might want to turn it to be horizontal. Let your imagination run wild!
Today's card features this beautiful butterfly from the Botanical Butterfly Designer Paper and the Thank You sentiment from the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set. The background is embossed using the Lace Dynamic Embossing Folder.
Simple Stamping Steps
- Fold a piece of Whisper White Cardstock (4 1/4" x 11") in half to create card base.
- Run a piece of Balmy Blue Cardstock (2 3/4" x 2 3/4") through the Big Shot using the Lacy Dynamic Embossing Folder.
- Adhere the Balmy Blue cardstock to the Basic Black Cardstock (3" x 3") mat.
- Tie some Basic Black Baker's Twine around the Basic Black Mat about 3/4" from the bottom and tie a bow towards the left-hand side.
- Cut the edge of a piece of Petal Pink cardstock using the scallop edge die from the Be Mine Stitched die using the Big Shot.
- Adhere the Petal Pink strip to the right-hand side of the card.
- Adhere the Basic Black mat to the card front center between the left-hand edge and the Petal Pink about 1/2" from the top.
- Cut out the butterfly from the Botanical Butterfly Paper and adhere it above the Basic Black Baker's Twine with a dimensional.
- Cut two fine strips of Basic Black cardstock and adhere to the top of the butterfly with the ends tucked under the butterfly.
- Adhere a Basic Black Faceted Gem to the top of the antennas.
