Have you checked out the Caardvarks Hero Arts sponsored design team gallery … I am so lucky to get to create with such a talented group. There are some jaw-dropping cards and projects … so much eye candy to behold.
This card combined the Hero Arts Heart Winged Butterfly with a sentiment from All Occasion Messages (thanks to Hero Arts to providing those stamps to the design team) … and you could win those stamps, along with Asian Messages, if you link up your card for the Sketch Challenge.
One of the great things about acrylic stamps is their flexibility (literally). I curved the sentiment stamp on my acrylic block before stamping to shape it like a trail behind my butterfly.
The butterfly (and sentiment) are stamped in Color Box Burnt Sienna and clear embossed on designer paper (Memory Box). I painted the butterfly with Shimmerz Glitter Paint in Apricot, Celery and Pixie Dust. I painted on two coats to get a really thick, shiny finished. I finished with some luxurious rust colored ribbon with a double knot to get the tails to go horizontal.
Awesome use of the paper and I love the Shimmerz on the butterfly – very beautiful card 🙂
Wonderful card. Great idea to curve the sentiment-I really like that look. Love the ribbon treatment. tfs
