Here’s my wings card:
This card falls under easy-peasy since the embossing folder and coordinating die set do all the work.
What I Did:
- The Azure Afternoon base measures 11 by 4-1/4 inches, scored at 5-1/2 inches
- After embossing a piece of black cardstock using the butterfly embossing folder, I trimmed it to 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches
- Next, I embossed a piece of white cardstock using the butterfly embossing folder, and cropped out the largest white butterfly
- I cropped the center of the butterfly from a small scrap of black cardstock
- I used the Azure Afternoon ink pad to swipe it along the debossed side of the white cardstock butterfly, making sure I hit the higher spots
- Next, I used my embossing buddy to wipe down a piece of scrap Azure Afternoon cardstock, then stamped the sentiment using VersaMark ink
- After covering the sentiment with WOW! silver embossing powder, I heat set it with my heat tool, then cropped it using the banner die from the Stylish Shapes die set
- I used my clear Wink of Stella pen to outline the butterfly and sentiment banner
- In order to follow the rule of threes, I used some of this black and silver ribbon, which I wrapped around the card and tied in a square knot
- I used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere the black cardstock to the front of the card
- I added dimensionals to the back of the butterfly and adhered it to the front going over the ribbon
- Next, I added dimensionals to the back of the sentiment banner so that they would straddle the ribbon and butterfly
- Finally I added three black matte dots to the embossed black cardstock
- I haven’t stamped anything on the white piece of cardstock measuring 4 by 5-1/4 inches on the inside
- I will stamp a sentiment when I figure out the purpose of this card
With that, I finished this easy-peasy wings card!
