I have a sweet card for today that features the Gypsy Swallow-Tail and also includes plaid papers and the Tender Peony Bud.
materials used
- white A2 side-fold note card
- plaid papers from FUCHSIA PLAID PP1029
- red card stock from BLUSH SP1012
- white card stock scraps
- watercolor paper
- GYPSY SWALLOW-TAIL 94891
- TENDER PEONY BUD 94881
- NESTED GLOBES 94532
- CHERISH HEARTS 94882
- a tiny gem from FAIRY JEWELS for the bird's eye
to make this card
- cut a piece of the plaid paper 4 X 5 1/4 and add to the front of the white note card
- cut two of the Nested Globes, one from red card stock and one from white card stock; layer the white one on top of the red and add to the front of the note card (no globes? use another set of frames in two sizes)
- die cut the smallest of the Cherish Hearts from a scrap of the same red card stock and add to the white panel
- die cut the Tender Peony Bud from watercolor paper; paint it with watercolors, assemble and add to the left of the heart on the white panel
- die cut the Gypsy Swallow-Tail from white and plaid card stock papers; adhere together using the envelope as a guide; add a tiny Fairy Jewel for the eye
- use dimensional foam dots to add the bird to the note card
This is a sweet card to send at any time. You could add one of the sentiment circle or rectangle tabs from Memory Box or stamp one of the sentiments from one of the clear stamp sets on the inside along with your personal message. Change it up even more by using different frames behind the bird and flower or use different papers for the background and the bird. So many possibilities!
Happy Crafting!
