Hi
again, Stampers!
I decided to stay
up late and create one more card another digital image from My
Digital Studio (MDS)- Swallowtail. This image is a background stamp and while I have the actual wood mounted background
stamp, it generally will not fit on the standard A2 card,
so I was thankful to be able to obtain it in a digital format.
Why, do you say? Another thing I love about MDS, is that
you can re-size the image plus sets that are retired from the main catalog are
still available (as in the sentiment, Favorite Thoughts).
I decided to use
this week's Dynamic Duos DD41 colors along with the PP134 sketch from ThePaper Players. I love both of these
challenge sites and again, if you have done so, take a moment to check them
out!!
This card was another
quick and easy one to create since I already printed the image earlier with my
CAS Celebration card (see the last post), had the sentiment printed from months ago and used previously embossed scraps so all I had to do was assemble:-)
To create this CAS card:
Using My Digital
Studio (MDS), position the butterfly image from the stamp brush set, Swallowtail and reduce to size . Position the sentiment from Favorite Thoughts
on the page below the image and print out onto Whisper White cardstock.
Use the Big Shot™
with the Large Scallop Edgelit™ to cut two pieces of Whisper White cardstock
and emboss using the Delicate Designs (Lace) Textured Impressions™ Embossing
Folder.
Adhere these two embossed pieces vertically to the
background paper according to the vertical panel in the sketch and mount the entire panel onto a piece of Island Indigo.
Add the ½” Pool Party Seam Binding Ribbon to cover the seam on the lace
embossed panel and adhere the panel to the Whisper White card base.
Color the
butterfly image using Pool Party and Island Indigo Stampin’ Write markers. Use an Aqua Painter™ to apply Shimmer Paint
directly to the wings and carefully cut out the image (be careful when cutting- I accidentally cut one
of the antennas too short so I had to shorten the other to balance - oops! Now you know all of my secrets:-)).

Mount the
butterfly and sentiment to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals (round the
corners of the sentiment with the 1 3/8” Circle Punch).
