Make It Monday with Painted Glass

Hello Everyone!

Let's take another look at the card:

I don't know why butterflies seemed to suit, but I thought they did!  Here is how to make this card:

1.  Cut a piece of 8 1/2  x 5 1/2" Early Espresso Cardstock.  Score  and fold at 4 1/4" to create a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card base. 

2.  Cut a piece of 4" x 5 1/4" paper from the Wood Textures Designer Series paper--there are so many that would look great--just pick one, they're a great neutral!  Cut a piece of 1 1/2" x 4 1/4" vellum.  Stamp the sentiment on the vellum using Versamark, sprinkle on some white embossing powder and carefully heat using the heat tool to set the embossing powder.

3.  Stamp 3 butterflies on thick white cardstock and cut out using the paper snips.  Colour using the Pumpkin Pie and Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends Markers.  Adhere to the vellum using glue dots and set aside (tip: if you gently bend the wings at the body, and only put the glue dot on the body, it will look more like the butterflies are flying!).

4.  Cut out the circle from Early Espresso cardstock using the Stitched Shapes framelits.  Adhere the wood textures piece to the card base, and adhere the circle to the top of that using tear tape or snail.  Take the vellum piece, and on the back side, add glue dots where the butterflies are covering the vellum and anywhere the letters from the sentiment are thick enough to hide the glue dots.  And Voila--this card is done!

Enjoy!
