BEST OF BUTTERFLIES

I am LOVING this moth type butterfly.  I originally came in the breast cancer donation stamp set.  It is one of the butterflies in the BEST OF BUTTERFLIES 25th anniversary stamp set.

 I chose my colors by FIRST choosing my designer paper.  Then I chose the colors that match it. Here I used melon mambo and gumball green.

 After I adhered the designer paper to the card base, I used the new ARTISAN LABEL PUNCH and punched thru both layers on the front of the card.  I then punched a piece of melon mambo and glued it through the window I created with the punch.

 I used the A ROUND ARRAY stamp set for the K IS FOR KINDNESS sentiment inside the punched out window and popped it up with a Stampin' Dimensional. (It was punched out with the 7/8" scallop circle punch)  I made little shutters for the window with some more melon mambo.


Melon mambo ink on whisper white card stock and fussy cut out the butterfly image.  I used Stampin' Dimensionals and then drew on the two antennae with a soft suede marker.

I saw this idea on Jason Kreiger's blog.  Thanks JK.  He goes by JK and I am also  JK (Jennifer Kay) so I always check out his fun ideas on his blog.  GREAT CARD!!
