The card blank was created by die cutting it with the Marianne Creatables Frame Circle die and it was then embossed.
Layers were die cut using circle Nestabilities dies, cut from pale green linen card and the floral paisley paper from the K&Co Classic McKenna paper pad. These were matted together in the centre of the card.
A butterfly was die cut using the Marianne Creatables Butterfly 2 die from the light green card and coloured with the Marvy Matchables Jungle Green dye ink with a shaving brush and then outlined with Glitz It Pear Green glitter glue.
Small light green gems from the Anita's Gem Wheel were then added along the body of the butterfly.
The sentiment, from Stamps Away, was stamped onto the patterned paper using Versafine Crimson Red archival pigment ink but as it didn't show up too well, I traced over the top with a red Sakura Stardust pen.
I also decorated the inside of the card using circles of the green card and patterned paper, and the sentiment, from the Papermania Mix and Match Scrolls and Sentiments stamp set, was also stamped using the Crimson Red ink.
And I finally got to use my new personalized stamp that I bought from this ebay seller. I stamped it up with the Crimson Red ink and matted it onto the patterned paper and green card die cut with Nestabilities Circle and Big Circle dies.
Here are the blog challenges I am entering this card into:
- Alota Rubber Stamps - #64 - Tic Tac Toe (Cut Out/Stamps/Distress)
