I started with a large envelope and created an ivory card to fit inside. I added a very pale yellow organza ribbon to a piece of scrapbook paper which I trimmed to size and embellished with a bit of script (SU) stamping before adhering it to the front of my card. To create the butterfly embellishment I started with a little champagne butterfly die cut which I got from my sister, Sylvia. I found the large butterfly in my stash - it was cut from white cardstock. I set about modifying it with watercolour and shimmer paint until it coordinated with my background. Once it was dry, I embossed it with a script embossing folder to echo the script in my background. I used double sided tape to adhere the two butterflies together and a piece of 3D foam tape to adhere it to my card front. I created my layered greeting in a similar fashion. I found the greeting my stash (colour printed & embellished with watercolour) and layered it onto a champagne oval which I had to colourwash just a little to tone down its brightness. I layered these two onto a white scalloped oval punchie (SU) which I embellished with watercolour and shimmer paint in the same way as the butterfly. I tied a short piece of the same ribbon to the one on the front of my card using a loosely tied single knot securing it with a piece of double sided tape on the back to ensure it did not come undone. To finish off my card, I added my layered greeting using 3D foam tape. It will be on its way today!! Therese
