Hello

 

Since I am a bit partial to butterfly images, I really wanted to make another card with the new Fancy Butterflies Set from Sparkle N Sprinkle.  With Basic Grey’s challenge this week of Sizzling Summer (summer images and hot papers), I knew the cardstock I recently purchased would do the trick.

I ran a piece of red cardstock through an embossing folder, distressd the edges, and sponged Jet Black StazOn ink around the edges before adding it to the card base.  I added a strip of the new butterfly decorative cardstock, along with a small square, also distressing all edges and sponging with Jet Black StazOn.  I added a strip of ribbon that actually was black with silver stripes.  I sponged it with Fired Brick and Spiced Marmalade die ink which resulted in a lovely metallic color that matched perfectly.

I stamped the Fancy Butterfly image in Fired Brick dye ink on pumpkin colored cardstock.  I colored the image with markers and cut it out with a die.  I went over the image and the edges with a Versamarker and heat embossed with Clear Detail embossing powder, then sponged with StazOn and popped it up in the center with foam tape.  I stamped the sentiment from

Kind Wishes with the Jet Black StazOn, cut it out with a die, and added the Fired Brick and Jet Black StazOn to the edges.
