Happy New Year! Welcome to my first post of 2013 for Great Impressions Stamps. I am delighted to be here for another 6 month term.
This week I pulled out Great Impressions Stamps Tiger Swallowtail.
And what a beautiful stamp to work with. I used Copic markers and a
touch of Stickles, cut out the image, and popped it up with pop dots to
create dimension. Although I had a hard time getting this card from a
single stamped image to the finish product. I initially stamped the
butterfly three times onto white cardstock, colored each one a different
color, then tried to make the three butterflies work on this card. I
moved them around, arranged them differently, then finally got
frustrated and took the pink and blue ones off... then my "ah-ha" moment
came: one is better than three. The single butterfly looks great and
the other two butterflies landed in my scraps pile. And that is how my
20 minute card turned into a 90 minute card. :-)
Anywho, I think it turned out pretty darn cute:
Have a great week!

Erin, what a fantastic card. I love the butterfly image. What is also awesome about this card is the designer paper.It draws my eye to the words and image. I just love this. Thanks for sharing.
I'm thinking of making these as thank you cards--a breath of fresh "warm" spring air is what we all need! So darling - thank you!
