GDP #006 - A Butterfly Birthday - Heartfelt Stamping

I am sorry to say that I was a little late to the party this week for the Global Design Project sketch challenge.

I really did have the card done in time, however never got around to posting it. So here is my take on this fun sketch.

As you can see, I stayed very true to the sketch. The star of this card is the Butterfly which I stamped with the Butterfly Basics stamp set and cut out using both the Butterflies Thinlits and the Bold Butterfly Framelits which coordinate beautifully to make a 3D butterfly. The sentiment is from the Birthday Blossoms stamp set. The card base is Very Vanilla cardstock and the Designer Series paper is from the Pretty Petals DSP Stack, which is a 6″ x 6″ stack of wonderful designs. I am actually almost through using a whole pad of this paper, which rarely ever happens for me. Since the whole front of the card is DSP, I also cut a piece of Old Olive cardstock to adhere the DSP to in order to make it a little sturdier when I popped it with dimensionals on the Very Vanilla base. The banner is Very Vanilla and Calypso Coral cardstock.

For a little extra embellishment, I added some pearls to the butterfly body as well as the end of the sentiment.
