Been making cards with Butterfly Dreams from Papertrey -- a set too long neglected. Here's the first one I made, and I decided to submit it to the CAS-ual Friday Color Block challenge.
Card Construction Details:
1. Trimmed white PTI cardstock to 4" x 5.25".
2. Stamped outline butterfly image from PTI Butterfly Dreams as shown, overlapping a bit, in Memento Tuxedo.
3. Got out color wheel, and selected Copics to use. Colored in with Copics, coloring the overlapped portions of the wings with both colors.
3. Stamped sentiment from PTI Birthday Basics.
4. Adhered orange rhinestones (Impress Rubber Stamps) with Quickie Glue Pen.
5. Rounded corners on one side, added some orange ribbon (needed a 3rd pop of orange.)
6. Adhered to A2 White card with dimensionals.
MOOD WHEN DONE = Colorful
Soooooo beautiful!

Love this... totally running to my craft room and ripping you off for the umpteen belated birthday cards I have to make. Belated birthday cards from a card maker? Are there any other kind?
Thanks for the mojo boost!

Very clever. Deceptively simple yet very clever.

Sooo cool! This is the card they should use at Copic classes to teach that wonderful semi-opaque quality. I really, really love this. I will have to revisit my stash to see if I have a stamp I could try a similar effect with. Thanks for posting this!
