Grateful for You Butterflies

 

Good morning!

Today I've used an ink sprayed background I had hanging about to create this colorful card!

Find the material list HERE

Card size:  4 3/4" X 6 5/8”

Start with 1 piece of white cardstock that is 5 1/2” X 6 5/8”, score at 3/8” on both long sides for tabs to glue to 2 pieces of white cardstock that are 1 1/2" X 6 5/8” Glue the 1 1/2" pieces to the tabs, card base is done.

You need two 1/2" by 6 5/8” plus one 4 3/8” X 6 3/8” pieces of white cardstock to spray Oxide inks on, whichever your preferred colors are (a mixed media type cardstock works best).  When completely dry glue the 1/2" pieces to the 2 sides and glue the larger piece inside of card.

Use gold cardstock to cut the front (gatefold) die cuts using the new Classic Companion Border Die (cuts both sides at once).  Also cut 2 decorative butterflies, one 2 1/2" circle and one 7/8” X 5” piece out of gold.  From white cardstock cut 2 butterfly decorative die cuts, one 2 3/8” circle and 1 banner shortened to 4 3/8” long.

Use Majestic Violet to stamp both sentiments, 1 on the banner and 1 on the white circle.  Glue banner onto the 5” gold strip then trim ends of gold to match banner.  Glue white circle to gold circle then glue the circles to the center of inside. 

Stamp VersaMark on white 2 times and on gold 2 times.  Use gold embossing powder for the gold stamped butterflies and use white embossing powder for the 2 white.  Heat emboss then die cut all 4 butterfly bases.  Glue white filigree butterflies to gold stamped bases and gold filigree die cuts to white stamped bases.  Glue the 2 gold base butterflies inside with circle sentiment.

Glue the 2 gatefold gold to the 1/2” front sides of card base.  The 2 gold fronts should meet in the middle just perfectly.  Use foam tape or other dimensional adhesive to adhere left half of banner sentiment to left side of card at a slight angle.  Adhere both white base butterflies using foam tape under their bodies on the top left and bottom right side of card front.

Thanks so much for visiting today!

Hello friends, here is my thought of the day...

Taken from Deuteronomy 6:4-5 

 

“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.

To the one who created us and keeps us in every way, the breathe of life, food to eat, clothes to wear, He keeps you in His care...He deserves our total love and devotion.

Did you know that He requires us to love one another?  Yep, He wants us to love each other like He loves us!  Think about it!  Forgive and love.  Even that person you don't agree with!!  You don't have to agree with them, just love them, we will all stand before the judgement seat of God, let Him be the judge of them, not you.
