Special order card...

This is a special order card I made for a co-worker/friend.  The only requirement was "birthday" so colors and images were left up to me.  I've used this layout several times and really like it.  Since the recipients don't know each other, I figure if a certain layout is working...use it!


The recipient of this card likes a lot of black, white & zebra print.  I stamped & embossed the butterfly in black...making a zebra-like butterfly..or a zebrafly..no, a butter-bra...ok....a black & white butterfly!


After cutting the Big Shot Top Note in white, I ran it through again with a texturing folder.  The leaves are cut out using the Little Leaves from SU!  The leaves and green layering are SU! Always Artichoke.  A couple of 1/2 "pearls" were added to the center of embossed flowers and the finished card was spritzed with a little shimmer paints.

...in a different color...

I made this birthday card for my sister.

Butterfly of Happiness is the stamp set I used for this one.

I stamped the butterfly with versa Mark & colored with Stampin' Pastels.

I'm sure I'll use this layout again & again. 

Try it.  Use any butterfly stamp you have.  Stamp & cut out two and layer with Stampin' Dimesionals.  If you prefer, stamp & cut out flowers to use instead.

Rich Razzelberry Butterfly

One of the new In Colors, Rich Razzleberry is the basis for this card.

(I like the creative names Stampin' Up! gives their colors.)

The designer paper is Razzleberry Lemonade. (pg 162)

I stamped two of the butterflies and adhered just down the center with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I'm not sure I can make a card without using Stampin' Dimensionals!

The butterflies were stamped with VersaMark and colored with Stampin' Pastels (chalk).  I was able to blend the colors to match the Razzleberry.  (Poppin' Pastels technique)

Black Flower Soft is the body of the butterfly.

BIG SHOT accessories:  Little Leaves, Top Note

See Big Shot supplies on pages 194-202.

Sage Green is the color I used for the leaves and the Top Note.

Stamp sets:  God's Beauty, Medallion

This card is for another precious lady from church who recently went through some major surgery.  I'm sure this will cheer her up. 

She likes butterflies. :)

She is in my prayers!
