I used a Papertrey die to cut out the squares. I used the same paper to punch out the butterflies with a Martha Stewart punch. The sentiment is from Stampendous. I added gems to the butterflies' bodies and drew in their antennae. After cutting out the squares and realizing I would have liked them to be a little higher, I decided to put the squares at the top of the card. However, when I adhered it to the card, I put it on with the squares at the bottom! So, I just dealt with it and stamped the sentiment slightly in the boxes. I like it that way. I like the center butterfly "askew," too. :)
For this second card, I used the squares that I cut out of the first one. I temporarily stuck them to scratch paper and stamped the image (from Gina K) on them. After stamping them, I removed them from the scratch paper and glued them on a piece of white and matted with black. The sentiment is from the same Gina K set.
love them! Especially the second one. Great job!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to not waste the squares punched out for the first card. Both cards are very nice!
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards Lynette - can't decide which I like better!
ReplyDeleteLove them BOTH! I will have to CASE your CASE....grin! I like the center butterfly askew, too. And it takes a GREAT stamper to put it on upside down (which we ALL have done) and make it look awesome anyway!!!
ReplyDeleteI love to case cards and do the same thing...case my own cards. I also like Gina K stamps. You did a great job on both your cards, but especially the second one.
ReplyDeleteThese are perfect. I like that they are flat. It makes it so much easier to mail. I have been trying to do that too. Great set.
ReplyDeleteOoooo, love the way you split that flower panel! clever and creative :)
