Today's card is a quick and easy one that could be used for almost any occasion.
materials used
- white A2 note card and envelope
- BLACK GLOSSY PAPER SH44004
- ANEMONE PLAID PP1025
- "Just a note" and the butterfly from HELLO BUTTERFLY CLEAR STAMP SET CL5289
- VersaFine Nocturne (black) Ink
- detail scissors (or use the die from the stamp/die set HELLO BUTTERFLY CL5289D)
to make this card
- Cover the front of a side-fold A2 note card with the black glossy paper.
- Cut one of the lighter plaid papers from Anemone Plaid 5 1/4 X 4.
- Stamp "Just a note" all over the plaid paper using the VersaFine Nocturne ink–I used the lines in the plaid to help align the words on the diagonal.
- Add the stamped panel to the front of the note card.
- Stamp the large butterfly on another coordinating plaid paper using the VersaFine Nocturne ink.
- Fussy cut (or die cut) the butterfly. I added a layer of the black glossy paper under the butterfly and fussy cut around that.
- Add the butterfly to the front of the note card using dimensional foam dots.
I like using sentiment stamps to create backgrounds for focal images on cards–and for creating coordinated wrapping paper. Plaids help me keep things straight and looking better than if I were working without lines. So many different ways to adapt this design idea for any occasion!!!
Happy Crafting!
