A Butterfly's Delicate Flight

MemoryBoxDelicateFlight-PoppystampsHopeAndThanksStamps-OpenStudioStitchedRectangleLayers-JeanOkimoto-PeerlessWatercolors-ImagineCrafts-RadiantNeonsButterflies and flowers are great together and the new Delicate Flight design is the perfect combination for any occasion.   Create a stash of these - and some stamped greetings - and save yourself a trip to the cardshoppe.  A set of ten would be a lovely gift for a special teacher too.  Jean Okimoto here, let's get started...

  • Open Studio Stitched Rectangle Layers Die Set 30009
  • Lavender and Wisteria Notecards

Poppystamps Hope and Thanks Clear Stamp Set CL405

Imagine Crafts Products

  • Radiant Neons Inkpads - Electric Blue, Electric Green, Electric Purple
  • VersaFine Onyx Black Inkpad    
  • Daubers

Create a soft background by daubing light layers of Electric Blue, Purple and Green Radiant Neons onto the smoother side of watercolor paper.  Heat-set it with a dry iron on the cotton setting - and you're ready to stamp and watercolor.  

Use the two largest Stitched Rectangle Layer dies to custom-cut a narrow rectangle.  Cut it with the 3.4" x 4.4" die first, then cut one long edge with the  largest die to create a rectangle to showcase your stamped design.  

Add a greeting - from the Poppystamps Hope and Thanks set - and some sequins.  It's as easy as that - so make a few extra cards while you're at it.  You'll be glad you did.

Please visit our Ideas Gallery for detailed directions, supply lists, and more spring card designs.

Thanks for visiting...see you again this evening!
