Hey friends!! The weekend is upon us and the sun is shining here in the PNW... yay!!! This morning it was foggy and it has been cold all week so I will definitely take the sun! I have a card to share that uses the current Freshly Made Sketches layout and the yummy color combo from Color Throwdown. I used a lovely stamp set from Stampin Up! called Watercolor Wings to create my butterfly. There are matching dies too! I stamped the butterfly using Simon Says Stamp Fog ink and Stampin Up! Coastal Cabana ink and then die cut it. The white cardstock panel was die cut and then I used a smaller rectangular die to cut the panel as you see. I stamped another image from Watercolor Wings using SU!'s Pumpkin Pie ink and then die cut some stitching holes using a PTI Stitching Lines die. The same die was used to cut holes in the butterfly and then I stitched the butterfly to the panel using orange hemp twine. I stamped the sentiment in black, attached the panel to a SSS Fog cardstock base and then finished everything with some Pretty Pink Posh clear sequins. Adding this to the current Time Out challenge which is a birthday theme, but I don't have the twist.
Supplies: Cardstock: white, SSS Fog; Stamps: Stampin Up! (Watercolor Wings and Butterfly Basics); Dies: Stampin Up! (butterfly), A Jillian Vance Design (rectangles); Pretty Pink Posh clear sequins; Inks: Stampin Up! and Simon Says Stamp; Orange hemp twine
