Paper Pursuits: Butterfly Wishes

Wednesday, April 30, 2014

Hey, there! It’s Wednesday noon so it must be time for this week’s MFTWSC! Are you ready? Here’s this week’s sketch. All of the details about the sketch challenge are available on the MFT blog as well as in the weekly newsletter. The Design Team will be on hand to provide plenty of inspiration to get you started.

I found this to be a very interesting sketch and I decided to make a shaker card out of that square instead of making it a layer.

I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base, then cut the square opening from another piece of Sweet Tooth card stock. I embossed it with Chevron Cover-Up Die-namics and trimmed it down, then added my clear acetate window with a piece of Berrylicious card stock for the back. I filled it with sequins to match my chosen color combo and popped it up on the card base with foam tape.

Then I made a double tailed Fishtail Flags STAX Die-namics element, cut from Black Licorice card stock and adhered that. Next I cut three butterflies using MPD Winged Beauties Die-namics and stamped them with the coordinating image from MPD Winged Beauties with Lemon Drop Hybrid ink, Razzle Berry Hybrid ink, and Orange Fizz Hybrid ink. I popped them up on foam on the black strip. The sentiment, also from the set, was stamped on a piece of Sweet Tooth card stock with Black Licorice Hybrid ink and also popped up on foam.

Another sentiment from the set was stamped on the inside.
