Butterfly Hi!

It’s Wednesday, and this week, I used Butterfly Chick - SLF007 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) for the main image from the new August 2020 release and Flutter'in By - F004 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) for the sentiment. This little butterfly has decided to take a moment to say "Hi" to this adorable little chick. Have you taken a moment to call someone and just "Hi" today?


To make my card this week, I started out with a simple white card base, sized at 6" x 6". I used the retired die cuts from Craftin Desert Diva's - Inside Scalloped Squares and a mixture of Momenta - Cardstock and American Crafts - Basics paper for my background. The same die cut was also used to cut the Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Cardstock. The Copic paper was then stamped on with my MISTI and Memento - Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured in the image with Copic markers.

For the assembly of the card, I first placed down the large background using 2-sided tape. Then I added in the 1st yellow inset using glue as it was easier to move around and get it into place. Lastly, I added in the last inset for the large scalloped square. For the smaller square, the coloured image and yellow cardstock were turned over and then taped together with some Scotch Tape. Then 3M VHB - 2 sided tape was used to pop it up into the centre of the larger square.

The sentiment was stamped with Memento - Tuxedo Black and then die cut with My Creative Time - Rectangle Frame Dies. Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Fossilized Amber was used to go around all of the edges. Then the sentiment was also popped up with 3M VHB - 2 sided tape.

To finish off the card I added on some butterflies and also a few Kraftin' Kimmie - Polar Dots in a few places.
