Inspired by my Husband

                            

 

 A few days ago, my husband gave me a beautiful Hallmark card for Sweetest Day.  When he selects a card he is always thinking if the card will give me ideas for my cardmaking. And his card (phhoto at end of post) inspired me to make this one  with butterfly dies and angel wing dies and heat embossing. I love the final results. I used a plum CS measuring 51/2 " X 11 3/4" to create the folded sides and used wing dies to cut into the folded edges so the wings extended beyond the folds. Then I attached Gold Metallic butterflies cut and embossed with dies to the extended wing cut outs . Stamped the sentiments with Versamark and heat embossed with Gold EP.   Finished the inside with stamped verses on gold parchment.

Supplies:
Dies: Cheery Lynn Exotic Butterflies 2 and Angel Wing Dies

Stamps: Paper and Such Butterfly set
Ink: Versamark
EP: Ranger Gold
Paper: Plum CS from stash, Gold Parchment
Adhesive Paper Lace: K&Company
Gold Marker (Colored Lace)
