Butterfly Thanks

Card two from the weekend-using the Oval this time from the Designer Frames folder set.


The card base is Riding Hood Red with a Baja Breeze accent layer behind the background layer of First Edition newsprint. The oval was embossed on Riding Hood Red card stock. We then cut it out with scissors around the dotted outside edge. The oval in the center was punched with the Extra-Large Oval punch. On Naturals Ivory card stock, we stamped the butterflies from Kindness matters. We had inked them with markers-Riding Hood Red on the center one, Baja Breeze on the two outside ones. They don't quite all fit in the oval, but that's OK! Before punching, we also Spritzed over some So Saffron ink just for accent. We attached the butterfly oval to the embossed oval with Snail adhesive, then attached the whole element with dimensionals over Riding Hood Red pleated satin ribbon. On the ribbon, we "unpleated" (for lack of a more technical term?!?) the ends just a little and cut a pennant corner into them. We added pearls to the butterfly body, and to the ribbon. Lastly, the saying is done on a small piece of Baja Breeze that we stamped "Thanks" on in Riding Hood Red and manually cut pennant corners in as well. Two small pearls are the final accents.
