Butterfly Thanks

#stampinup   When I saw this week’s CAS(E) This Sketch challenge I immediately thought of fluttering butterflies, so I pulled out the “Papillon Potpourri” set and got to work.

I also had a purple and black theme in mind, so I stamped five of the floral butterflies in Elegant Eggplant onto Whisper White and punched them out with the Elegant Butterfly Punch.


Next, I took an Elegant Eggplant card base and added a Basic Black mat. I stamped a sentiment from the “One Big Meaning” stamp set in Basic Black Archival Ink onto a Whisper White panel. I aligned the sentiment with my Stamp-a-Ma-Jig.


I adhered one Stampin’ Dimensional to each butterfly and folded up the wings a bit, to give them depth and motion. I’m really pleased at how this quick and easy, clean and simple card turned out!
