Beautiful Butterflies + Beautiful Bokeh = Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge # 646
Welcome to Team B’s turn for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #646! Starting the creative process with a sketch invites individual takes on the sketch, and this one is no different. This challenge is a weekly event, and we’d all love for you to play along with the sketches and then post your creations to the challenge gallery.
Here’s my Butterfly and Bokeh card:
This sentiment allows the card to be an all-occasion card. When I figure out the recipient, I will add a sentiment to the inside. For now, the interior panel is temporarily adhered with removable tape, which will allow me to remove the cardstock, stamp the sentiment, then adhere it with multipurpose liquid glue.
Here’s the sketch from AHSC # 644:
Measurements and Adhering:
- The Berry Burst base measures 8-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 inches to create a landscape tent card
- I trimmed a piece of Beautiful Bokeh DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
- Each strip of Beautiful Bokeh DSP (designer series paper) adhered under the Berry Burst slanted cardstock measures 3/4 inch wide by 5 inches to allow for the strips from the sketch
- I trimmed a variety of Beautiful Bokeh DSP to 3/4 by 5 inches
- Trim a piece of white cardstock to 5-3/8 by 4-1/8 inches so you can adhere your strips to the white cardstock
- Trust me, you don’t want to try to adhere the strips to the base of the card
- You need another piece of white cardstock measuring 5-1/4 by 4 inches for the inside of the card
- I added a piece of DSP trimmed to 1/2 by 5-1/4 inches to the bottom of the inside cardstock
- After a couple of failed attempts, I decided the best way to create the stripes to follow the challenge design was to dry fit the strips under the Petunia Pop diagonal strip
- I also trimmed a piece of Beautiful Bokeh to 5-3/8 by 1-1/2 inches on the top left going down to 3/4 inch on the right
- After dry-fitting all the strips, I very carefully adhered them one at a time to the white cardstock mat
- Then I adhered the Petunia Pop diagonal strip
- Even with the gorgeous patterns on the DSP, I realized I needed something else on the front of the card – enter the Beautiful Butterflies embossing folder
- Next, I used my embossing buddy on a scrap piece of Petunia Pop cardstock, then stamped the sentiment in VersaMark ink
- After covering the sentiment in white embossing powder (don’t forget to flick the back of the card to remove excess embossing powder) I heat set it using my heat tool
- I trimmed a length of Fresh Freesia ribbon and used glue dot to adhere it to the back of the sentiment
- Then, I added dimensionals and adhere the sentiment to the front of the card
- The last thing I did was stamp two butterflies on Beautiful Bokeh scraps, and cropped them with the coordinating die set
Thanks for stopping by today!
Have a Peachy Day!
