Just a Friendly Note...

Hope everyone is having a great day today. I'm excited because I am off of work tomorrow! Yeah! I have a full day planned relaxing & working on some new cards in my studio. Gotta love a day like that!

Well, for those of you who have been following my blog you've probably guessed that one of my favorite flowers to make cards with are Daffodils. I couldn't pass them up when I was contacted by Samantha from DRS Designs for the DRS Designs DT finalist round. Here's one of the cards I made using their Framed Daffodil stamp (P104) and the "A Friendly Note" (D586) sentiment.





I used my Prismacolor Pencils to color the image and blended the colors with Gamsol. I used light blue chalk to color in the areas around the flowers. I then, cut out the image and traced the edges with a black Sharpee marker. Next, I layered it with yellow and green cardstock and adhered it to a light blue cardstock base. I stamped the sentiment under the image





After I colored the main image, I created a 3-D look with the butterflies. I stamped the image again 3 more times & colored only the butterflies. I cut all 3 butterflies out. I layered a second butterfly on top of the one already in the upper portion of the image, by placing adhesive only on the center of the butterfly. Once I had it in position, I "fluffed" up the wings, to make it look like it was flying!






I layered the other 2 butterflies the same way and adhered the butterfly set to the bottom of the image, just above the sentiment. Here's a close up picture. See how the butterfly looks real! I loved how it looked!
