Be Faithful

by 98 comments

Did you see the blog hop from Our Daily Bread Designs yesterday?  There’s still one day left to do the hop and leave comments so that you can win some of the fabulous new stamps sets (click here to get started))!! I’m just so taken with the die cut butterfly – the same one that I used on my card from yesterday; it has soooo many possibilities.  Today I’m pairing it up with the Large Butterfly Background and a sentiment from the Faith set. 


This is a clean and simple look for me.  I love what the background accomplishes – I kept things tidy by staying with two colors (except my butterfly) and not having any other design paper.  The butterfly is made from white iridescent paper that I spritzed with a light blue reinker and water.  The fine mist doesn’t totally cover the paper and gives it a great texture.  After that I embossed with white over top of the color I just spritzed.  I was surprised but I didn’t have any challenges with the embossing powder even though my paper was partially damp.   

HOW IT’S MADE

1. Make Card Base – mine is 5.5″ x 7″
2. Stamp and emboss Large Butterfly Background and trim.  Cut a mat slightly larger. Adhere.
3. Embellish background with pearls, tie ribbon.   Adhere panel to card base using form tape.
4. Stamp sentiment then cut/emboss using Spellbinders Fancy Tags,
5. Mat layer with another Spellbinders Fancy Tags cut from white.  Adhere with foam tape.
6. Cut two circles using Spellbinders Classic Circles LG and Classic Circles SM, adhere with foam tape.
7. Stamp, emboss then die cut two butterflies.  Staple together then adhere to circle using glue dot.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Faith, Large Butterfly Background, Butterfly Single
Paper: The Paper Company – Kraft, Paper Studio – Pearl White
Ink: Colobox White Pigment Ink and White Embossing Powder
Accessories: ODBD Butterfly Die Cut, Spellbinders Classic Circles LG, Spellbinders Classic Circles SM, Spellbinders Fancy Tags, ribbon, pearls

There will be more butterflies this month, lol!!  Thanks for stopping by, have a blessed day sweet friends!

    I look forward to seeing your creations every day – they (and you) give me inspiration to step outside my comfort zone of CAS cards. Do you give these cards away – you must have so many, what do you do with them? This seems to be a problem for me – you can only give your friends so many cards…

    What a treasure of a card. I love that die cut butterfly and am sorry I didn’t order it with my Faith order. I love how you have made the circle for the butterfly and the background is awesome. I haven’t tried spritzing like that yet so that will be something for me this year. Love the bow.

  • Cathie - Ontario, CanadaJanuary 2, 2011 - 5:21 pm

    THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I love every little element especially the new releases. The background stamp is stunning against the brown paper and the tiny pearls is such a quiet detail but adds such an impact. The new butterfly die cut is a must have and throughout the blog hop have seen it with many different looks. The recipe for the die cut butterfly takes this card to a new level! Oh Becca, what a start to the New Year!

    Blessings as always sweetie,
