Beautiful Butterflies Global Design Project CASE The Designer Challenge Card

For this week’s Global Design Project we are CASEing the lovely card from the talented Mikaela Titheridge (The Crafty Oink Pen). I decided to use my new favorite color combo (Petal Pink, Timid Tiger, & Calypso Coral) for my three water colors and added some text from the Elements of Text stamp set to each water colored section for texture. Instead of the dragonflies, I fussy cut three butterflies from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set and the lovely hello sentiment from the same stamp set with a Basic Black cardstock panels to make front panel & sentiment pop.

CASE = Copy And Selectively Edit

Start with a Timid Tiger cardstock card base. Cut a Basic Black cardstock panel layer. Die cut a Thick Basic White (or Fluid Water Color) cardstock panel with the Textured Notes dies. Use a water painter to add Petal Pink ink, Timid Tiger ink, and Calypso Coral ink to the die cut panel. Add some text to each water color swatch with the image from the Elements of Text stamp set in the corresponding 2nd generation (stamped off) color. Use Black Stampin’ Dimensionals to add the water colored die cut panel to the Basic Black cardstock panel. Use glue to add the panels to the card base.

Stamp the butterfly from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set three times in Memento Black ink on Basic White cardstock. Use a water painter to add color (Petal Pink ink, Timid Tiger ink, and Calypso Coral ink) to the tops of the butterflies. Add Wink of Stella to the butterflies for sparkle. Closely fussy cut out the butterflies with paper snips (or die cut them out with the Beautiful Butterflies dies). Use a bone folder to gently bend the butterflies wings, then use mini Black Stampin’ Dimensionals to add the butterflies to the card front.

Cut a Basic White cardstock sentiment panel and a Basic Back cardstock sentiment panel layer. Stamp the sentiment from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set in Memento Black ink on the Basic White cardstock sentiment panel. Use Black Stampin’ Dimensionals to add the sentiment panel to the Basic Black cardstock sentimental panel layer. Use glue to add the sentiment panels to the middle right of the die cut water color panel. Add Timid Tiger Flat Pearls to the left bottom section of the water color front panel.

Cut a Basic White cardstock inside panel to write your message. Stamp the sentiment and butterfly from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set in Memento Black ink. Use a water painter to add Timid Tiger ink to the butterfly. Glue the stamped inside panel into the card. Add a water colored & stamped Basic White cardstock strip to the inside & back of the card to pull the theme through.
