It’s time for another SUO challenge and the challenge is BUTTERFLIES!! Okay…come on now…can it get ANY EASIER THAN THAT! I don’t think so! You all know how I love the Swallowtail stamp so just couldn’t resist it for this challenge! This does have a bit of a fun opening so I’ll that in a minute.
The base of the card is Pool Party 4 1/4 x 11 and I folded to create a ‘gate fold’ in the front. I added a Whisper White Scallop Trim edge to the right panel then added a piece for the Pool Party Polka Dotted dsp over it. Next I stamped the swallowtail using versamark on Whisper White and embossed using the Pool Party Embossing Powder!
I add the butterfly to the RIGHT panel. I stamped the greeting using Basic Grey and Pool Party, and cut into a banner. Next I made a ‘bow’ (click the tutorial link above to see how I make my ‘bows’) using Pool Party Seam Binding and a White Brad. I added the bow to the banner then attached the banner to the card front.
So how fun is this! I just love the pretty soft colors of this and the different opening!
