Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off?
For today’s card I went out of my comfort zone. I usually make cards with lots of colors or at least 3, today I made a monochromatic card. This was really hard for me, but I wanted to try it. I used some items from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog and mixed it with some new items from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. Here’s my card for today.
My colors are from Seize The Birthday Challenge #190.
I also joined in with Joy of Sets Tic Tac Toe Challenge #017. I went across the top.
I started by cutting the butterflies out using the Butterfly Beauty Dies in Soft Sea Foam cardstock. I adhered the butterflies to a Soft Sea Foam card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Using some of the gorgeous new ribbon from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog I used the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack and the Just Jade 2020-2022 In-Color 1/4″ Ribbon. I started by wrapping a piece of the Whisper White 1/2″ Faux Linen Ribbon around the right corner on an angle and adhered it on the back of the card front using Snail. I wrapped a piece of the Just Jade 3/8″ Gingham Ribbon around the bottom of the card front, overlapping the Faux Linen Ribbon, adhering it on the back with Snail. I then wrapped a piece of the Just Jade 2020-2022 In-Color 1/4″ Ribbon over the top of the Faux Linen Ribbon and the Just Jade Gingham Ribbon adhering it on the back of the card front with Snail.
I cut the sentiment out of a small panel of Just Jade cardstock using the Well Written Dies and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Just Jade 2020-2022 In-Color Enamel Dots to the card front. I adhered the card front to a Just Jade card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Well Said Cling Stamp Set in Shaded Spruce Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the Bokeh dots image from the Stampin’ Up! Beauty Abound Cling Stamp Set in Soft Sea Foam Ink around the sentiment. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Soft Sea Foam mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Just Jade card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the butterfly image from the Beauty Abounds stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the bokeh dots image from the Beauty Abounds stamp set on the envelope flap in Soft Sea Foam Ink.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
