Project Recipe
Start with a Calypso Coral cs card base. Cut a Poppy Parade cs panel and a Butterfly Bijou DSP panel. Dry emboss the Poppy Parade cs panel with the Subtle 3D embossing folder. Use Versamark ink on the edges of the Butterfly Bijou DSP to apply the Heat & Stick Powder, melt the powder with the Heat Tool, then apply the Gilded Leafing to the panel's edges using a Stamping Sponge to remove the excess.
Glue the gilded DSP panel to the embossed Poppy Parade cs panel and then wrap them with a piece of the Fine Art Ribbon using Stampin' Seal to secure the ends on the back of the panel. Glue the wrapped panels to the card front.
Die cut the butterflies from the Butterfly Bijou DSP with the Brilliant Wings dies. Use Versamark ink on the edges of the Butterflies to apply the Heat & Stick Powder, melt the powder with the Heat Tool, then apply the Gilded Leafing to the butterflies' edges using a Stamping Sponge to remove the excess. Use Stampin' Dimensionals to add gilded butterfly to the left side of the card front overlapping the wrapped ribbon.
Stamp the Many Messages stamp using the Stamparatus in Memento Black ink on Basic White cs and then die cut out the sentiments with the Message Dies.
Adhere the Congratulation sentiment with Stampin' Dimensionals and glue dots across the DSP panel overlapping the butterfly & wrapped ribbon. Add Gilded Gems to the butterfly and the card front.
Don't forget to add a Basic White cs inside panel to write your message. I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set in Memento Black ink, added a strip of DSP, and a glided butterfly to the inside and back of the card to pull the theme through.
