Stampin' Up! Butterfly Gala

If you went on the hop yesterday, you probably will remember that one of my team mates is Jaimie Barbarczy. She lives near where I used to and she lives near my daughter. We have never met but I can tell you she is fun and talented! I was inspired by her to make my card today. You can watch her make hers here if you'd like.

The Butterfly Gala Stamp Set is a new one. You can find it in the 2019 Occasions Catalog, which just came out yesterday. There is a tab to view it at the top of this post. My card is a conglomeration of products used so where it's not SU, I will mention it.

My card base is Calypso Coral with a mat of Cajun Craze. The Whisper White panel is dry embossed with the retired "Flittering" TIEF. The 2 1/4" circle was punched from a collection of Miraposa DSP that I purchased at JoAnn's years ago. I used Gina K's Rose Gold Embossing Powder to heat emboss the sentiment from the stamp set.

Before I adhered the sentiment to the front of the card, I did a dry run for the placement of the butterflies I punched from the Butterfly Duet (in the Occasions Catalog). I inked them up with Calypso Coral and Grapefruit Grove inks, along with Memento Tuxedo Black. The ribbons I used are the 5/8" Burlap and Calypso Coral 1/8" Sheer.

I think it's very loving when you call a friend "beautiful", don't you? I have a friend who I think is beautiful inside and out and she is very loving and thoughtful...she'll be the recipient so I can't show you the inside of the card. However, I CAN post the outside on the Time Out Challenge #126 "Loving". I hope you'll take time out to visit their blog...I'm loving it!

Thank you for stopping by and if you have any questions, give me a shout out. Remember to watch Jaimie's video to see the basics of how the card is made. Why reinvent the wheel, right?!!
