The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Brilliant Wings Dies and Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set.  This is the type card you never want to send but need to have a few on hand just in case there is an occasion where you need one.

I am entering the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.

I started with a Basic White card stock card base with a panel of Basic White card stock cropped using the largest Deckled Rectangle Dies then embossed using the Painted Posies 3D Embossing Folder.  

A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink in the upper left corner of the embossed panel.  Three strips of Textured Chic Designer Series Paper are adhered across the bottom of the embossed panel and the panel is then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  A butterfly is cropped from Basic White card stock using a die from Brilliant Wings Dies.  The butterfly is colored using a Blending Brush and Pool Party ink.  It is brushed lightly to give just a faint tint.  The wings are then pressed against the Versa Mark ink pad and Gold Embossing Powder is sprinkled on the butterfly and heat embossed using a heat tool.  It is then popped over the three strips using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A panel of Basic White card stock is cropped using the largest of the Deckled Rectangle Dies, the panel is then embossed using the Painted Posie 3D Embossing Folder.  A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts stamp set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink onto the panel.

 

A Basic White envelope gets the flap embossed using the Painted Posies 3D Embossing Folder.
