Stampin' Up! Butterfly Gala Sympathy Card

The blowing bubbles technique has struck again! You can see my explanation here. Have you tried it yet?

Over at Shopping Our Stash, they are doing a weekly challenge #414 with the theme, The Great Outdoors. There were some ink smudges after stamping with the very juicy Blackberry Bliss Ink so I had some butterflies pre-stamped (Butterfly Gala Stamp Set) and pre-cut. A couple were cut with the Butterfly Duet punch and one was from a retired Embosslit. Who doesn't love butterflies when they see them outdoors!

The sentiment is stamped on a scrap of Whisper White using the Flourishing Phrases stamp set and is punched with the Pretty Label Punch. A second label was punched from a scrap Blackberry Bliss Card Stock, cut in half and adhered as a mat.

The retired Thoughts and Prayers Stamp Set for the inside sentiment almost finished off the card...

...but once again, the juicy ink attacked so another butterfly and strip of the background creation graced the inside! I think it's a perfect cover up, don't you?

Both stamp sets are older than a year (I think from at least 2016!). The Thoughts and Prayers is retired but the Flourishing Phrases is still going strong. Because of that I'm entering this card at the Retro Rubber Challenge Blog RRC128. Their theme is "love" and they want to see red, pink and white. I love three things about this card...the butterflies, the technique and the person it is being sent to is loved. Hopefully the DT loves that red and blue make purple! But there is a lot of pink and white represented too :-)

Thank you for stopping by today.
