Happy Wednesday! I am back today with a Stampendous card (they shared it on their blog yesterday) created with the new Jumbo Butterfly Pair which is just fabulous. I am loving the size of the jumbo stamps I have tried, they are great for a variety of projects! So for this one I stamped and embossed the smaller of the two butterflies on Ocean Tides cardstock, then added some softness by sponging Fresh Snow ink around the images and the edges.
On the bottom of the card front I added various sentiments from the Birthday Assortment set in Versamark ink, then added that last sentiment with Dark Brown ink. I added a small strip of patterned paper and some glitter to break up the two card halves. And one of my favorite parts is the unexpected use of vellum cardstock as a cardbase.
Supplies: Stamps – CRS5008-R Jumbo Butterfly Pair, SSC1115 Birthday Assortment (Stampendous); Ink – Versamark (Tsukineko), Dark Brown (Clearsnap), Fresh Snow (Papertrey Ink); Patterned Paper – Fine & Dandy True Blue (My Mind’s Eye); Cardstock – Vellum, Ocean Tides (Papertrey Ink); Butterfly Punch (Martha Stewart Crafts); GX225F Multi Fine Crystal Glitter (Stampendous); Clear Rhinestones (Kaiser Craft); EP020 Clear Embossing Powder (Stampendous)
Thank you so much for stopping by today, have a wonderful remainder of the week! And in case you wondered it is supposed to rain/snow the rest of the week...ugh!
Such a pretty card, Geny! Hope you're having a great day!

This card is gorgeous! Isn't the weather crazy lately? My son is so sad because opening day for little league is about to be rained out. :(

LOVE the monochromatic scheme you've chosen here with the eye catching bling and the softness of the vellum! This is an inspired mix and it works so well!
