Good Friday morning! Another week and where did it go? I have a sweet card for you today using the Lifetime of Love Bundle and then Paper Butterfly Accents. I love a monochromatic look with just a bit of soft color and this card is it.

I started with coloring the Paper Butterfly Accent with Orchid Oasis ink and a Blending Brush. Then I took my Stampin’ Blend in Orchid Oasis and flicked color on the butterfly. I set this aside to stamp the floral design from Lifetime of Love stamp set in Pebbled Path ink. I colored the flower with Stampin’ Blends Light Fresh Freesia and Dark Highland Heather. The leaves are colored with Stampin’ Blends Light Parakeet Party and Dark Granny Apple Green. I die cut this with the coordinating Lifetime of Love Dies and set this aside as well.

The card base is Thick Basic White. I added a layer of Basic White trimmed 1/4″ less than the card front and added it with liquid glue.; two layers on dimensionals: one is Basic White cut with a Perennial Postage Dies; the other is a Basic White trimmed to fit inside the die and run through the Softly Sophisticated 3D Embossing Folder. I love this embossing folder. It is one of my favorite! These two pieces were adhered together with liquid glue then added to the card base with dimensionals. I die cut this wonderful leaf circle from the Lifetime of Love Dies in Basic White and centered it on the card front using dabs of liquid glue. I added the colored floral image with dimensionals, then the butterfly both with liquid glue & dimensionals trimmed to fit under various wing areas. I wanted a bit of sparkle so added two of the Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to the butterfly and dabs of Wink of Stella to the flowers. They shimmer beautifully but it doesn’t show well in the photos.

For the inside… again, a Basic White panel trimmed 1/4″ smaller than the card was added to the inside. On that is the outside rim of the die cut from the Perennial Postage Die used on the card front. :O) I also stamped a small flower in Orchid Oasis ink and used my Blender Pen to move the ink around on the flower portion only. It gives depth to the flower. I die cut it with the floral di from Lifetime of Love Dies and adhered it with liquid glue.

For the envelope… I embossed the flap using the same Softly Sophisticated 3D Embossing Folder. For the envelope front, I again stamped a single flower in Orchid Oasis ink and used my Blender Pen to move the ink on the flower only, not the leaves. And again, I used my Orchid Oasis Stampin’ Blend to flick ink around it. It’s subtle but adds a nice touch. This card could so easily be sympathy card or a birthday card, or happy anniversary or thinking of you – very versatile – and a sentiment may be added or not. Hope you like…
