Enjoy the Moment

Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by.  My card today has been created using one of the Little Birdie Crafts Stencils and Imagine Memento Inks - such a fun way to create your own unique background for any project.  I just have to add - it is Friday night here - woohoo - I am hoping for some BIG CHUNKS of creative time this weekend - I am on a mission and want to get some projects completed - here's hoping!!


I started by securing the stencil over white card stock with Repositional Tape to prevent it from moving.  I randomly sponged over the stencil using Imagine Memento Ink in Summer Sky, Bamboo Leaves and Lulu Lavender using a sponge dauber.

This has then been cut/embossed using the Spellbinders Nestabilities Scored and Pierced Rectangles Etched Dies and the Platinum Die Cutting Machine and popped up onto a slightly larger pre-cut purple card base using Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L 3D Foam Squares. 


The butterfly has been created by cut/emboss the Butterfly Body using Kaisercraft patterned paper and the Shapeabilities Layered Monarch Etched Dies - Exclusive, this is followed by the Butterfly Wing Layer 2 in black card stock.  Adhere the Wing layer over the patterned Body Layer using glue.  Colour the body using black marker.  Pop up the butterfly on the top portion of the
 card front using Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L 3D Foam Squares on the wings and glue on the body portion.


For the sentiment I cut the word “Enjoy” from the Enjoy Expressions Stamp and Die Set - Exclusive using black card stock  and glued it, centred, below the butterfly, The smaller sentiment is from the co-ordinating stamp set and has been stamped directly below the die cut sentiment using Imagine Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black Ink .
