Time to Soar Card by Samantha Mann

Inspirational Butterfly card!

Today we are sharing a beautiful butterfly card by Samantha. 

This card features:

Heartfelt Butterflies Stamp Set
Butterflies Stencil Set
A7 Frames & Banners Die Set
Heart Frames Die Set
Frames Squared Die Set

Tree Rings Stencil

She started out by stamping the big heart filled with butterflies from our Heartfelt Butterflies Stamp Set. She embossed the image in white and inked over it with shades of purple ink. She then hand cut it out, using the edges of the butterflies as a guide. Next, she cut out a heart from vellum paper using our Heart Frames Die Set. The butterfly image is designed to fit perfectly inside the scallop edged heart. So beautiful! 

Next, she created the backgrounds. She started with a square brown card base and added texture to that using our Tree Rings Stencil with brown ink. She created a second background layer with bold butterflies. She first inked the paper in shades of green. Then she stenciled the bold butterflies using our Butterflies Stencil Set with a glossy texture paste. She cut this out into a scalloped square using our Frames Squared Die Set. 

Last, she assembled all the layers together and added the "time to soar" message into the center of the heart. She cut out the curved banner using our A7 Frames & Banners Die Set and embossed the message onto the banner. 

Samantha is planning on using this as a graduation card. The butterfly theme and soaring message will work perfectly to inspire a graduate!
