In creating my card for today I used the Climbing Roses stamp set and Botanical Butterfly DSP.  This was a fun card to make, but then they all are fun, what am I saying, but I do love butterflies.  My inspiration and design come from the challenge this week at Freshly Made Sketches.

I started with a Basic Black card base.  You can see the layers in the picture above and the ones below.  First is a Highland Heather panel layer, next is a panel from the Botanical Butterfly DSP for the next layer.  Two butterflies are colored on this panel using Light Old Olive, Light Highland Heather, and Light Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends.  The next layer is another Highland Heather panel that is the mat for the Whisper White panel that has the greeting stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink.   The greeting is from the Climbing Roses stamp set.  This panel has two fussy cut butterflies from the Botanical Butterfly DSP adhered with Glue Dots.  The long vertical panel is Highland Heather for the mat and Whisper White for the art piece.  The butterflies for the art piece has been fussy cut from the Botanical Butterfly DSP also and adhered with Glue Dots to the Whisper White panel.  To me, they do not look fussy cut from a panel of the Botanical Butterfly DSP but stamped and colored with watercolor pens or Stampin’ Blend Markers.  Using a black fine point pen (non-Stampin’ Up!) just a regular pen you write with, I made dots on this panel.  After all the panels were adhered using Liquid Glue the final thing was to pop the finished panel on the Basic Black base.  

 The inside sentiment is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on the label made from one of the dies in the Climbing Rose bundle.  It is adhered to a panel from the Botanical Butterfly DSP that has been matted on a panel of Highland Heather card stock.  The butterflies on the Botanical Butterfly DSP panel are colored using Light Balmy Blue, Highland Heather, and Old Olive Stampin’ Blend Markers.  A Whisper White panel is adhered above the sentiment panel for a note whether it birthday, thinking of you, or sympathy that you are using it for, you will be able to have a spot for a personal note.

Thank you for stopping by.  Here’s hoping you find encouragement and inspiration for your creations.  Have a blessed day!
