I made a card for this weeks Color Throwdown #87 using Pink, Grey and Soft Olive. My sketch came from I ♥ 2 Stamp ..
My card base is Pretty in Pink and measures 5x5. I added a layer of retired DSP and a piece of Basic Grey that I ran through the Big Shot using the Polka Dot Embossing Folder. I stamped my Butterfly from "Flight of the Butterfly" in Pretty in Pink & Pixie Pink onto Whisper White. I added the sentiment with Basic Grey and then some grass using "Inspired by Nature" in Old Olive. To get the color lighter or softer I inked my image and then stamped on a piece of scrap paper then without re-inking it onto the Whisper White piece.
Now onto that cool looking Butterfly.. I punched out a Butterfly using some acetate and adhered it with a glue dot. Then I took another piece of acetate and ran it through the Big Shot using the same Polka Dot Embossing Folder and then punched it out with the Butterfly punch so I had a polka dotted one and then I adhered that over the first acetate butterfly.
My buttons are from the Sherbet Set and one from a retired set I think it's Kiwi Kiss. I threaded some white embroidery floss through then and adhered with a Glue Dot. I stamped the Happy Birthday from "Teeny Tiny Wishes" onto Pretty in Pink and punched it out using the Word Window punch and then I added a Brushed Silver brad. Whew!!! This is a long post, this card had a lot going on.. But it's so cute I will not be parting with this one!
Happy Stamping!
