Saw Julie's gorgeous card HERE, and made this:
Card Construction Details:
1. Had pre stamped scrap of sentiment on white Bazzil paper on table from failed former project, so started with that.
2. Found patterned paper (this is part of a piece with stripes of different patterns and had that bit of black on the bottom). Trimmed.
3. Die cut butterfly and stamped and colored with Copics.
4. Trimmed piece of polka dot patterned paper and adhered to cheap cardstock to firm it up. Die cut with circle nestability.
5. Adhered flowered paper to polka dot paper, then sentiment strip. Added white dots on flowers. Adhered to a white card with dimensionals.
6. Adhered glitter to butterflies and added some yellow on top of glitter with a Copic. Cleaned glitter off Copic (don't recommend this technique, but it did work.)
7. Added clear Ranger Glossy Accents to body of butterflies and adhered the butterflies with the same stuff.
MOOD WHEN DONE = Grateful Julie has a clue.
Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko Studio Time; PTI Butterfly Dreams
Paper: Bazill textured white, PTI polka dot; other unknown paper
Ink: Memento Tuxedo
Other: A Muse Studio glitter; BV 02 and 04 and Y15 Copic markers; Glue pen; Ranger Glossy Accents; Bic White Out pen; dimesionals
NOTE ON COMMENT VERIFICATION (@^%$!)
Please consider turning off comment verification. I just tried commenting on a blog and had to input the "words" 3 times and still could not get it done. So I gave up. If you are troubled by spam comments or annoying people, moderate comments. Thanks for considering as I'd love to comment on your blog.
That is a great design & your interpretation is beautiful, I love the punched circle with the butterflies, have jotted this down to try myself :) x

Great inspiration resulted in a really pretty card! Your colors and glitter are scrumptious.

This is beautiful. You crack me up--you are creative and funny. I like how you did the butterflies, and that punched circle.

Ok Friend...could you please send just a smiggin' of your mojo my way?!! I seem to be wallowing in nothingness (I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that I have a great pig sty on my desk to wallow in...)
Love the design of this!! (and I'm forever coloring over stuff with my copics, mixing ink pads and such. Figure it's all in the name of creativity!! haha!!)
I'm with you on the word verfication. Didn't realize that I had it turned on until a cyber friend was brave enough to mention it to me! The new verfication on blogger is a PAIN!!

ROTFL! You are so funny! Wonderful interpretation of this design! *monkey clapping* :) big hugs, too.

Gorgeous card Joan!! So, what is is called when you CASE a CASE? Is that a re-CASE? Either way, I will be CASEing this! LOL
And yes, couldn't agree more about the word verification. I've been asking people to do this for ages. It's such a pain.
Posted by: Tracy | February 28, 2012 at 02:51 PM
Oooh!! Aaah!! You did it again - - gorgeous and clever! That circle is neat-o and just love how you jazzed up your flower strip. I have to agree about the new blogger verification - - I may get to the point that I'll only try to leave some kind (on occasion :) words if I need to tell you your blog's on fire...
p.s. I do adore this sentiment, so keep using it please.

And may I just say that I saw the card and love your card more? I don't think I have ever written that before on any blog......but I truly do love your card more! The colors that you chose and the placement of your butterflies are lovely.

Oh Joan...every time I visit your blog, it just makes me happy!! Thanks!

I love "Saw that, made this" it's a great expression! It perfectly and cleverly describes how one can be inspired by another's work and have your own interpretation. Your card turned out beautifully, I like it a lot.
