A couple of weeks ago, we celebrated my niece's 5th birthday. When I sat down to create her card, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do, but then I decided to focus on butterflies.
Materials
- Stamps: Butterfly Gala and Itty Bitty Birthdays
- Ink: Memento Black, Mango Melody, Melon Mambo, Coastal Cabana and Daffodil Delight
- Card stock:
- Mango Melody (5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and 4 1/2" x 1")
- Bermuda Bay (4" x 5 1/4")
- Whisper White (5 1/8" x 3 7/8", 4" x 3/4" and scraps for punching)
- Accessories: Ornate Floral Embossing Folder, Lovely Labels Pick a Punch, Butterfly Duet Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals
I started by stamping and punching my butterflies, and I knew that I wanted to place them on a white background, but it took me a while to figure out the colors I wanted to use for the card itself. I think I tried four or five different combinations before I settled on this one. I was Zoom stamping with some friends, and their input was invaluable! Finally, I added the embossing to the background which gave it just enough texture to make it interesting. The moral of the story is that if something just doesn't feel right when you are creating, keep trying different things until you land on something you do like!
