Dimensions:
Highland Heather: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"
Whisper White: 5 1/4" x 4" (2 of these)
Highland Heather & Whisper White for punches
Front of Card:
Butterfly Gala is a great butterfly stamp set that has a matching punch. What is neat is that you can punch a large and small butterfly at the same time. For these butterflies I stamped them in Memento Ink. After drying I colored both butterflies with Light Highland Heather Stampin' Blends, then went back over and colored some of the sections with Dark Highland Heather. Finally, I used the punch to punch them out.
For the medallion, I used a 2" Circle Punch with Whisper White and the Starburst Punch for Highland Heather. Stamp sentiment from the Beauty Abounds set and adhere the circle to the starburst.
The background is so pretty on this and I think the white space accents it well. I used the Beauty Abounds stamp set to stamp the circles in Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green.
Finish front by adhering as shown. Note that I used dimensionals on the sentiment and also finished with Silver Thread. I did not use dimensionals on the butterflies, but I did only use glue in the center so that the butterfly wings could stand out.
Inside of Card:
For the inside of the card I used the Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment and finished with a butterfly in Highland Heather.
I left plenty of space for a personal note.
Envelope:
I stamped the envelope to match the card. There are many butterflies between these two stamp sets you could use as well.
Additional Note: The Beauty Abounds set has a matching die set, but I did not use it on this card.
