sketched butterflies – Stampin' in the Meadows

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies bundle is full of pretty pen drawn butterflies and sweet sentiments and I paired it with the colorful Full Of Life 6″ x 6″ designer series paper for a Thank You card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a color challenge this week and I used all of the colors – I love how the Full Of Life DSP blends the colors in those little circles!

I embossed a Summer Splash panel with the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Summer Splash card base. I adhered a panel of Full Of Life 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to a Melon Mambo mat and wrapped it with Summer Splash ribbon and tied a bow. I adhered the DSP panel to the card with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies stamp set Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Lemon Lime Twist card stock and cut it out with a Stylish Shapes circle die. I adhered it to the card with glue dots.

I used the die from the Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies dies to cut a Basic Black panel. I brushed Wink of Stella on the butterflies to give them sparkle – I just wish it showed up better in the pictures. I adhered the butterflies to the card with bits of black dimensionals and finished the card with Lemon Lime Twist dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the small butterflies from the Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies stamp set using Calypso Coral, Summer Splash, Lemon Lime Twist, Pumpkin Pie and Berry Burst inks. I inked up each butterfly separately and wiped the stamp before stamping the next one. I trimmed the bottom with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal..
