Sheer Butterflies

I am  so happy to join the Chapel Road Stamps design team. My official start is in March but they have an introductory post today at the Class Act Blog. Here is a card I made to celebrate joining the team:

When I saw this beautiful stamp full of butterflies floating off the page I knew I wanted to stamp them on acetate to allow the feeling of floating to appear. What I didn't realize was it would be hard to get a good photo of the card. :)

The beautiful stamp is called Butterfly Background and the sentiment is part of a lovely set of sentiments called Birthday Edwardian.

The background is stamped using StaZon (Teal) onto acetate two times. The second time I cut the wings from the panel to pop dot and layer on the first panel. Cut card base 5 x 7 and cut a frame in the front to accommodate my translucent butterfly panel.

Stamp sentiment in corner using same teal ink.

Different angle to show off how the card looks slightly open: 

Very simple but pretty card.

Thanks for stopping by!

    The butterflies look very effective on the acetate and do look like they are floating off the page, very clever. Lovely colour too. Congratulations on your new post, you are one busy lady LOL. Tracy Evans x
