Baja Breeze Butterfly

I’m off to another shoebox swap today. There will be 25 stampers at the swap today, so I went with a card that’s pretty quick and easy to do.

I used a stamp set that’s new to the current SU! catalog, Flight of the Butterfly for the main image. The solid butterfly image is stamped in Pink Pirouette ink and the dots and body are stamped with darker Regal Rose ink. I used a Stamp-a-ma-jig to get the proper placement for the image. Since there are a few images that you can layer over the solid butterfly image, I used a sturdy piece of acetate to create a Stamp-a-ma-jig imaging sheet specifically for this set. I’ll keep it in the box with the stamps so it’s ready to go whenever I pull out the set.

I did my usual butterfly trick here, too. I stamped the solid butterfly and dots images again on a scrap of vellum then trimmed around it. I layered this over the butterfly image for some dimension and interest.

I used the horizontal slot punch to create a slot in the right side of the image panel. A piece of Baja Breeze striped grosgrain ribbon is threaded through the slot and tied in a knot. I added a scalloped edge piece to the opposite side of the panel to balance it out. Put a coordinating designer paper panel at the bottom, and the card’s done!
