Sally CT - A quick and simple card

I  don't know about you, but it is all feeling a bit strange at the moment, but sometimes, losing yourself in a bit of crafting is a good tonic. Thought I would share a simple card that I made before the news broke on Thursday evening. Here it is.

I began by adding some kitsch flamingo distress oxide ink through the Circles 1 big one inkable directly onto a white 6x6" card blank.

Next I placed the 4"butterfly easy frame in the centre and blended over some wilted violet distress oxide ink. 

I then placed the 'innie' from the 6" butterfly easy frame over the top and blended a little prize ribbon distress oxide around the edge.

Setting aside the base card I stamped the regular doodle art butterfly on a scrap of watercolour paper, coloured it with ecoline pens and cut it out. 

I added some highlights with white and sparkle gelly roll moonlight pens and attached the butterfly to the main card using ultra thick gel medium. 

Finally I added a sentiment from the new Bee Crafty stickers and a bit of stamping in the white space corners.

Here is the finished card again. 

Here's a list of what I used:

6" square card

Inkables big one - circles 1

4" butterfly easy frame inkable

6" butterfly easy frame inkable

Doodle Art butterfly stamp set- regular

Bee Crafty wordy stickers 1B

Distress oxide ink in Kitsch Flamingo, Wilted Violet and Prize Ribbon

Versafine Clair Nocturne ink

Ecoline brush pens

If you prefer your butterflies more realistic and your backgrounds more grungy, here is the card I made during my Facebook live on Wednesday evening which you can find here.

 

Thanks for looking!
