Silly stickles card

Today’s card is quick, and easy. With only one stamp on it! I have so many embellishments that I need to use and that’s where the inspiration for this card came. It also happens to fit into Beate’s sketch #12, which I’m getting one last card in under the wire! 

          I started with a 5 ½ x 8 ½ piece of close to cocoa that I folded in half.

Next I cut a 4 ½ x 4 piece of perfect plum and then sponged the edges with perfect plum ink and a sponge dauber. I adhered that to the close to cocoa base.

I cut a piece of rose red 3 ½ x 3 ½ and attached a piece of almost amethyst double sided paper that was cut to 3×3. I used stampin dimensional’s to place it on top of the card.

Next I cut a square of shimmer white CS and stamped the “hello friend” sentiment, coloring it with my markers on the rubber. Then I sponged almost amethyst around the edge and then roughed it up a bit.

I cut a piece of close to cocoa paper just bigger than the white and then sponged the edges with cocoa ink.

I glued those two pieces together then used silver brads on two of the corners.

I used a stampin dimensional on one side to make it even between the two papers.

I tied a small piece of white ribbon into a knot and adhered it to the top right corner of my DP and rose red.

I then added a glittery butterfly and a bunch of flowers to the card front.

I used a white signo gel pen to add a trail to the butterfly.

And then finally I used crystal stickles to fill in the wording on the “hello” sentiment.

HEY, DID YOU ALL KNOW STICKLES MAKES YOUR INKS RUN????? I didnt……-sniff-sniff!

I took pictures of my card only to realize that the memory card wasnt in it….der, then I had to hunt and find it and by the time I got back to the card with my working camera the stickles had made the ink run…………wa, wa, waaaaa! I didnt realize that would happen, I thought it was a glue with glitter. Crikey~ again, learn from my mistake.
