Last night we hosted twenty people on our patio for a wine party. This was our first time and I worked for two days making sure the yard looked great and it did. But boy oh boy is this bod out of shape and for two mornings in a row I woke up hurting. So today I decided I was going to play and I got out containers of previously colored pieces of art and decided to create.
This card is for Seize the Birthday and it is on the CAS side but it is dramatic. The butterfly had been stamped on paper that had been inked and watercolored and it was stamped with memento ink and then die cut. In the center of the butterfly I applied black stickles and I used wink of stella randomly. The background piece was stamped with brushstroke stamps from SU! and MFT on white card stock and the sentiment was added. Tiny drops of wink of stella were placed sparingly. The butterfly was attached with mounting tape onto the background paper and then attached to a piece of SU! elegant eggplant and then a second piece of white cardstock.
Paper - SU! Elegant Eggplant, Whisper White
Stamps - MFT Winged Beauties, Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler, MFT Abstract Art, SU! Gorgeous Grunge
Ink - Memento, Distress Dusty Concord, Spun Sugar
Die - MFT Winged Beauties
Other - Wink of Stella, mounting tape
