Blue Kind Thoughts, Card

It's Tuesday! We made it through another Monday and moving closer to another weekend!! In yesterday's post I mentioned a card that I really, really liked with the Kind Thoughts stamp set. Well, today is the post where I am sharing this fave card. IRL it looks a lot prettier than in the scan, but hopefully you will get the idea...

I’ve got to admit that this card is one of my faves that I’ve done in a while! And, it was a fun creative process. I started out with it going in a completely different direction… and ended up with a gorgeous card- if I say so myself!

Recipe: Stampin UP! Cardstock: so saffron, whisper white, black, blue; SU Craft ink: chocolate chip, blue; Cricut Celebrations cartridge (scallop circle & scallop edge), SU 1-1/2 inch circle punch, SU Clear embossing Powder, SU stamp set: Kind thoughts; SU heat gun; Glue dots.

I clear embossed the large scroll on to Bazzill brown cardstock- I originally wanted that to be on the card front but I stamped it off center so I cut it out and matted it on blue then black cardstock. I had stamped the butterfly and had it already mounted on the scallop circle and noticed that it fit perfectly inside the large embossed image! LOVE it! Also, added the smaller circle image onto the so saffron cardstock for dimension on the card background. Also, I cut a second blue butterfly out and placed it ontop of the circle butterfly, the scan doesn’t show the way it pops off the card as IRL. LOVE, LUV it!!
