Hi everyone! So glad you stopped in today! Many thanks for all the anniversary wishes yesterday! We had a wonderful day!
Today's card is for the sketch challenge at CardPatterns. Check out those cute scalloped edges!
I finally decided to get PTI's Butterfly Dreams and the coordinating die. I don't know why I waited so long, as this has been at the top of my list since it was released. I wanted this to be a cheerful get well card, so I chose some spring-like colors. I'm learning to love Lemon Tart, though it has been a slow warm-up!The butterflies were stamped with Dark Chocolate ink onto Vintage Cream cardstock, then colored with Copics. I stamped two different leafy images from the Life set with Clearsnap Lettuce ink and PTI's Ripe Avocado. The sentiment is from Mega Mixed Messages.
I used the Linen & Canvas impression plate on the Lemon Tart cardstock layer and stitched the edges so it wouldn't look like it was just laying there! And I have to say how much I love the PTI medium scallop border die and how perfectly proportioned it is for an A2 card.
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink (Lemon Tart, Aqua Mist, Vintage Cream), Bazzill (kraft)
Stamps: Papertrey Ink (Butterfly Dreams, Life, Mega Mixed Messages)
Ink: Papertrey Ink (Dark Chocolate, Ripe Avocado), Clearsnap (Lettuce), Copics
Tools: Papertrey Ink (butterfly die, scallop border die, Linen & Canvas plate), McGill (tag punch), Fiskars (hole punch)
Accessories: Papertrey Ink (buttons), Pebbles Inc. (twine), thread
That's all for now! I hope to see you back here soon!

LOVE your card. Fabulous use of the silhouette set and the butterflies are gorgeous. Great use of the sketch and the colour combo rocks.
Christina!!!! I LOOOOOVE your card!!! It's sooo pretty! :) Butterfly dreams was also on the top of my list and I've been waiting awhile before I got it. But I'm so glad you said that about the scallop border die because now I really want to get it!! :)
Your card is absolutely crisp and stunning! I love how you used the scallop die to create the frame. I'm totally stealing that idea, by the way. :)
Ooh where do you get your Copics by the way? Since I don't know much about it I thought I would get the coordinating ones from PTI...
