Another Club Card

If not for my club ladies, I wouldn't stamp at all!   I so appreciate their inspiration and having a reason to stamp!  Here is the second card from last weekend.  I love this set, Great Friend from the Occasions Mini but hadn't taken time to play with it.  So glad I did!  It was lots of cutting, but worth it!

The card base is Elegant Eggplant-one of my favorite colors that I hadn't used in too long!  The background is two different pieces of the Designer Series paper from the Walk in the Park pack, colors are So Saffron & Kiwi Kiss.  The DSP is also in the Occasions Mini.  We stamped 3 butterflies on Whisper White CS:  One in Elegant Eggplant, one in Kiwi Kiss and one in Baha Breeze, and cut them out.  We also stamped the shape in Elegant Eggplant and added the verse in Baha Breeze using the Stamp-a-ma-jig and cut that out as well.  The ribbon around the center is the So Saffron 7/8" PolyTwill & the Narrow Elegant Eggplant grosgrain.  All the butterflies & the verse were attached with Dimensionals.  Lastly we added the Baha Breeze large corduory button with a Pop-Up glue dot.  These buttons are actually more like brads in that they have "legs" on the back.  We tried to poke a hole through and push the button through, but the legs got so loose that it didn't work, probably in part because of the double ribbon.  We used my Craft & Rubber scissors to remove the legs and used the glue dot instead!

I love your card...I bought that set just for that butterfly stamp!! I know I could "kiss" one off a floral stamp, but didn't want to go to that trouble! I just love that butterfly stamp!
The glitter card is great, too! I'm sure the ladies had a great time making these beautiful cards!!! :D
