A Beautiful Butterfly for CCMC347
Hi Stampers! Today I've got a butterfly card to share using the sketch challenge from Create with Connie and Mary. Here's a look at their sketch for this week.
I had a couple of extra butterflies cut with the Butterfly Thinlets sitting on my desk, so I picked a Calypso Coral one and designed today's card around it.
This card came together so easily, I basically pulled things off my desk that were leftovers. The card base is Calypso Coral to which I added a layer of Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper. I wanted to the butterfly to stand out, so I kept the sentiment simple and stamped it on the bottom of the card. I used Calypso Coral ink to stamp a sweet yet simple sentiment from Simply Wonderful in the Sale-a-bration catalog.
There was a circle of Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper in my pile of extras so I added it to the card. It fit the sketch and helped to highlight the butterfly. The butterfly was added with Tombow, I find that it's the best way to adhere something to glimmer paper. I let it dry a bit while I placed rhinestones all around the card. Final touch was rhinestones on the butterfly. This card has a lot of glimmer and shine to it!
I love a fast yet beautiful card, how about you?? I am a saver for just that reason. I save all of my extra cut outs or images that were stamped but not used. They really come in handy for inspiration and making quick cards!
