Papillon Potpourri

I’ve just completed Team Challenge #7.  It’s been a while since I participated in our team challenges but I needed to get back into it.  Todays challenge is a sketch using colours Soft Suede, Gumball Green, Pink Pirouette and Whisper White.

Here’s how I made my Card

1. Fold the 5 3/4″ x 11 1/2″ (14.5 x 29cm) Whisper White CS in half to create a 5 3/4″ x 5 3/4″ (14.5 x 14.5cm) cardbase
2. Cut 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Pink Pirouette designer paper from Subtles Colour Collection Designer Paper, Centre and stick to the front of your Whisper White Cardbase
3. Cut a 5 1/4″ x 2 1/2″ Whisper White piece and punch one edge using your Scallop Boarder Punch.  Sponge the edges with Soft Suede Classic Ink
4. Stamp the butterfly image from Papillon Potpourri Stamp set onto scrap piece of Whisper White CS, in soft suede, gumball green and pink pirouette classic ink.  punch out with the Elegant Butterfly Punch
5. Stamp your greeting from Itty Bitty Birthday in Soft Suede ink onto a Scrap of Whisper White CS and cut out with Bitty Banner Framelits and Bigshot, set aside
6. Stick you butterfly’s onto the scalloped boarder piece of Whisper White CS with Stampin’ Dimensional.  Place the first butterfly (Pink Pirouette) in the centre and then stick the gumball green butterfly approx 1/2″ above the pink pirouette butterfly and the soft suede approx 1/2″ below the pink pirouette butterfly.
7. Mat 2 2/8″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Gumball Green Designer paper from Epic Day this and That Designer paper onto a 2 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Gumball Green CS
8. Wrap a 6″ piece of Organza Ribbon around the Gumball Green mat stick the end at the back with snail adhesive
9. Stick the Gumball Green mat to the Card base approx 1″ from the bottom
10. piece a hole at one end of your greeting and thread 4″ piece of Twine , tie around the organza ribbon into a knot, trimming the ends
