Wild Wednesday

This card is almost noisy! Ha! It is definitely on the wild side. True confessions: I had a pant suit in the mid-60’s that looked very much like this paper! Yes, I was a groovy 60’s chick 🙂

I will be very interested to hear your impressions…of the card, that is! This DSP is in the Happiness Blooms collection. I punched out the butterflies using the Butterfly Duet Punch (available once again come April) with Lovely Lipstick. Then I used Versamark Ink, the Butterfly Gala stamp set, and some pearlized white embossing powder (non-SU).

To get the paper fold, I cut a slit halfway down the right side, in toward the middle, to the 1-1/2″ mark. Fold each side back from the outer corner to the middle to create a “collar fold.”

Beautiful You provided the sentiment on the inside and that cute little butterfly came from Beauty Abounds.

I stamped the butterflies’ antennae directly onto the paper when I decided where to place the butterflies, then adhered the ‘flies with Glue Dots.

This card will not be one of the cards in my February Kit, but I will be featuring the Butterfly Gala suite in my projects. If you would like to receive my Kit To Go, send me an email to karenshallam@gmail.com with Stamping Habit Kit in the subject line. Details for my kits are here. If you would like to purchase the stamp set, Butterfly Gala, to use with this month’s kit, order it here.
