Not much time this morning but I thought I would post a card anyhow since I haven't posted too much this week. This is a sweet Mint Motif card, using one of the sentiments from Very Square Sentiments to create a background and one of the patterns from Very Square to create a pattern on the bigger butterfly. I did another fun thing to create the background, I used the negative of the larger butterfly diecut and sponged Hawaiian Shores ink to create big pretty butterflies, then I used the cut out of the smaller butterfly and sponged Orange Zest ink around it to create the white butterflies. Love how this turned out and will be doing it again for sure!
Supplies: Stamps - Very Square, Very Square Sentiments; Ink - Hawaiian Shores, Orange Zest (PTI), Frayed Burlap Distress (Ranger); Cardstock - Rustic White, Hawaiian Shores, Orange Zest (PTI); Other - Real Estate Sign Punch (EK Success), Butterfly Punch (MS Crafts), Butterfly Die (PTI), Dark Chocolate Vintage Button (PTI)
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I really hope to get some stamping time in...we'll see! Thanks for stopping by!
This is a very cute card, just my style.
