Hi Stampers! 
I had a chance to play around in the craft room again today and created
this card using the Create with Connie and Mary CCMC309 Sketch Challenge, the
PP202 Paper Players “Tic Tac Toe” Challenge (two different sets of three elements in a row- Ribbon, Blue, Birthday and Blue,
Designer Series Paper, Pearls) and the Stampin’ Royalty SR234 Inspiration Photo.
If you
have not had a chance to do, I hope that you will take a moment to visit all of
the challenge sites- so many wonderful Design Teams samples and entries!
I decided
to utilize My Digital Studio (MDS) with traditional card making techniques for
this “hybrid” card:
Open MDS and
insert the butterfly stamp images from Flores Suaves into a blank 8.5x11
document and print out onto Whisper White cardstock.
Color the wings using the Daffodil Delight and
Coastal Cabana Stampin’ Blendabilities™, darken the black areas on the wings
with the Basic Black Stampin’ Write marker, color the body of the butterfly
with the Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write marker, add a few shadows with the Sahara
Sand Stampin’ Write marker and finally, add a few
white highlights to the wings using the Chalk Marker.
Use a
sticky note or scrap paper to create a mask, mask over the butterflies and
stamp the script stamp from retired Notable Notions using Crumb Cake Classic
Ink. Remove the masks and add additional
distressing with the splatter stamp from Gorgeous Grunge and Crumb Cake Classic
Ink.
Distress
the edges using the Distressing Tool and with a Sponge Dauber, sponge
additional Crumb Cake Classic Ink over the Whisper White to “antique” the paper
and edges. Adhere to scrap pieces of
Basic Black cardstock, distressing the edges as well with the Distressing Tool.
Create
the banner from the stamped Crushed Curry cardstock using the 1 ¼” Square
Punch, distress the edges using the Distressing Tool and mount onto a piece of
Basic Black cardstock, again, distressing the edges with the Distressing Tool.
Add the
vertical panels of stamped, distressed Coastal Cabana cardstock (mounted onto
Basic Black cardstock), along with the scrap, distressed stamped circles of
Crushed Curry cardstock.
Add a distressed
piece of Typeset Designer Series Paper (DSP) onto a distressed piece of Basic
Black cardstock and adhere the piece of Venetian Crochet Trim to the side along
with a piece of retired 5/8” Basic Black Satin Ribbon.
Mount the
stamped, distressed piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock onto the Basic Black card
base. Add the banner panel to the card
front using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.
Stamp the
sentiment from the retired set, Express Yourself using Memento™ Tuxedo Black
ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock, trim and create the banner points
using the Hexagon Punch, distress the edges with the Distressing Tool. Add additional distressing using the splatter
stamp from Gorgeous Grunge, the script stamp from Notable Notions and a Sponge
Dauber- all using Crumb Cake Classic Ink.
Mount the
sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals® and Pearls to finish off the card.
