PTI - Make it Monday!

Hey Friends! Today I wanted to share a card with you that I created for the current challenge at Papertrey Ink - Make it Monday. I haven't played the last 2 but decided this time I was going to have fun and enter.

I took Aqua Mist, Sweet Blush and Spring Moss card stock, and taking the co-ordinating die from the Butterfly Dreams, I ran it through my Cuttlebug, cutting 2 butterflies out of each card stock. Taking one of the butterfly stamps from the Butterfly Dreams stamp set and stamping onto the butterfly die cuts with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then colouring each of the butterflies in with matching Copics. Next, trimming a piece of Kraft card stock and the one of the background border stamps from Tin Types, stamping the entire sheet of card stock using Frost White ink, sewing around the edge and adding a dusting of the same ink. Adhering each butterfly to the card stock, using Glossy Accents, then trimming a piece of white card stock, stamping a sentiment from the Up Up and Away stamp set, adhering to the Kraft card stock. Finally trimming more white card stock to form a card, adhering the Kraft card stock to this using foam dimensionals, adding rhinestones either side of the sentiment to complete the card.

Here is a close up of the card.

I loved that I was able to get out my Papertrey Ink goodies and get crafty.

Enjoy viewing the card.
