I’m sharing one more sympathy card for the A Blog Named Hero June Challenge. The challenge has ended but you should still check out the blog and like the A Named Hero Facebook page!
Supplies:
Color Layering Sea and Sky stamp set
Hero Hues Reactive Inks in Taffy, Berry Smoothie, Thistle, Grape Slush
Hero Hues Premium Card stock in Plum
Clear Embossing and Watermark ink
I began by centering the butterfly die as best I could on a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2″ piece of Neenah 120lb card stock and cutting it out. I then set the butterfly aside and taped the stencil to the card stock and ran it through my Gemini Jr. I added the die cut butterfly back into the card stock and taped it in place. Using that piece as a guide, I added ink to a piece of Bristol Smooth card stock cut to the same size with the lightest at the edges and the darkest towards the center.
Next I added foam tape to the back of the embossed piece. I only added foam tape to the center of the butterfly so the wings could pop up. I adhered the embossed piece to the ink blended piece. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on a scrap of card stock, trimmed it and added it with foam tape. And that’s it for this simple yet elegant card!
The next A Blog Named Hero challenge will start in a few days and I’ll have another card to share for it in a few weeks!
