Stamping 411 Sketch 217~Creative Elements

Hi Everyone,

I hope you will take time to play with us over at Stamping 411 this week. We’ve got some great designs from the Operators to share and hopefully inspire you.

Here is the sketch:ssc217

…and my simple interpretation.

Sketch 217 002  I am just loving this new set called Creative Elements. Don’t you just love this butterfly? So Simple and Elegant!

Yes I cut all five butterfly out but had this in mind for this card as soon as I saw it.

The card base is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and folded. The green mat is Lucky Limeade and cut to 4x 5 1/4 and the white embossed mat is 3 7/8 x 5 1/8…it’s embossed with the new Houndstooth embossing folder….cool huh?

The ribbon is ted into a double bow and I added three tiny rhinestones to each butterfly to complete this card. The inks used are Wisteria Wonder, Lucky Limeade and Pool Party. Love, love, love these colors!!

Hope you’ll play along with us. Thanks for stopping in and see you next time.

Beautiful Lee!!! I too will need to look at this set and put it on my wishlist. The colors are gorgeous and your card is stunning.

Queston for you...can a card like this be mailed? Would you need to add something to the envelope to keep the dimension of the butterfly?

Lee your card is elegant and beautiful even though its clean & simple at the same time. Not an easy thing to achieve (at least for me!). I do love that stamp set and its on my wish list!
