This card uses two die cuts and some brusho colored background paper. I die cut the solid die and then used wink of stella, and then die cut the cut out butterfly die from the same paper. Next on a piece of white textured paper I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment and the flight lines and attached the butterfly. This was attached with mounting tape to a piece of white cs.
Die Cuts - Memory Box Oriel Butterfly, Memory Box Lunette Butterfly
Paper - PTI white, snippet of white, Brusho colored watercolor paper
Stamp - Paper Smooches Flap Happy
Other - Gold Ink and Gold embossing powder
I read on a SCS post of a nine year old boy who is recovering in the hospital with burns over at least 50% of his body. His aunt is requesting cards sent to him to cheer him up. Making and sending cards to hospitalized and seriously ill people is what keeps me happy and my way of paying it forward. My eldest grandson will turn nine on Tuesday so this story is even more touching to me. I am sending my card to:
Alex
3901 Rainbow Blvd.
Kansas City Kansas 66160
The inside reads "You Rock." Alex likes to skateboard.
The background paper of your butterfly is lovely!
