Well, sorry I was slow this week. Just think triplets--two of which got their driver's permits. It has been a SCARY week, and my knees are still shaking. Do I really have to take them out practicing again today? LOL!
Anyway, a week or so ago I saw someone create a border on their card using flowers and different bright colors of ink. I thought it would be fun to try it with the Memory Box Dotty Butterfly stamp {C1355} and only using one bright ink color. This really is a simple and fun card to make. I have posted the instructions below the photos.
2. Stamp Dotty Butterfly three times across the longer edge in any color you choose.
3. Run the piece through your embossing machine.
4. Cut out the tops of the butterflies, and tie a ribbon along the bottom of the piece.
5. Add Stickles for the butterfly bodies and set aside to dry.
6. Cut a 4 3/4" x 8" piece of white cardstock.
7. Score in half to make your card.
8. Add your sentiment to the lower right-hand corner or your card.
9. Attach the piece you set aside in Step 5 to finish.
Oooh, a card under 10 steps. Love it! LOL! I hope you are able to have some creative fun today with these instructions! Have a blessed Memorial Day weekend!
