The card I am sharing today is created using one of my favorite stamp sets,  Spotlight On Nature Stamp Set.  I also, use Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves and Sketched Butterflies Stamp Sets.  

You can see how I colored this card, by clicking this link,  It will take you to a previous post that shows the prep for coloring  since it is colored on Crumb Cake cardstock.

These are the card cuts:

• Basic White cardstock
  • card base — 5-1/2′ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″
  • mat for art piece — 2-3/4″ x 4″
  • greeting strip — 3/4″ x 4″
  • inside panel — 4″ 5-1/4″
  • inside panel left side — 2-7/8″ x 4-1/4″
• Soft Seafoam cardstock
  • background card front — 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″
  • inside panel left side — 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″
  • inside strip — 3/4″ x 5-1/4″
• Crumb Cake cardstock
  • art piece — 2-5/8″ x 3-7/8″

1. Start with the Soft Seafoam cardstock as they have to be preped to because DSP.  Using the stamp that looks like a bunch of  hashtags put all together  and the little dots stamp, and using Pretty Peacock  ink create your background by stamping over the piece for the card front, the piece for inside, and the strip for the inside.
2. Cut a piece of Crumb Cake, then will become the art piece when the stamping and coloring are complete.
3. On the Crumb Cake piece, stamp the flowers from Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature Stamp Set in Versa Mark ink.
4. Sprinkle White Embossing Powder over the Versa Mark and heat set using a heat tool.
5. Color the flowers and leaves using White Craft ink and a Water Painter.  You can see how that looks on a previous blog by clicking the link to the post.  Let the White Craft ink dry well before coloring with other colors.
6. Use Gorgeous Grape and Granny Apple Green inks and a Water Painter to color the flowers.
7. Stamp the HELLO greeting from Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Stamp Set in Memento Black in on a scrap of Basic White cardstock and bannerize one end.
8. Make a Mary Deatherage bow using Linen Thread.
9. Adhere the Soft Seafoam cardstock piece to the card base.
10. Adhere the art piece to the Basic White mat using adhesive of choice.  I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue .
11. Pop the art piece over the Soft Seafoam background piece using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
12. Pop the greeting over the bottom of the flowers.
13. Adhere the bow using Glue Dots.
14. Pop Iridescent Basic Pearls around the art piece.  That finishes the card front.
15. Stamp a butterfly from Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies in Versa Mark ink.
16. Sprinkle White Embossing Powder over the Versa Mark and heat emboss.
17. Color the butterfly using Crushed Curry, Granny Apple Green, And Mossy Meadow inks and a Water Painter.
18. Fussy Cut the butterfly.
19. Stamp a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies Stamp Set in Memento Black ink on a Basic White panel.
20. Adhere the other Soft Seafoam piece to the left inside card base using adhesive of choice.
21. Adhere the sentiment panel over it using adhesive of choice.
22. Pop the butterfly over the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
23. Stamp a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Stamp Set on a Basic White panel using Memento Black ink.
24. Adhere the panel to the card base using adhesive of choice.
25. Add the Soft Seafoam strip down the right side of the panel.
26. A Basic White envelope gets a piece of Regals 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (I used a Gorgeous Grape piece) adhered to the envelope flap using adhesive of choice.
