Thinking About You ~ Wings

Hi, friends!  It's design team member Walter here on the blog with you.  Today I'm sharing my first card for the May theme of Wings.  Wings is such an expansive theme that can cover so many things from airplanes to insects.  For this card, I wanted to focus on the beauty of wings.  What's more full of natural beauty than a butterfly?  And even better is if it's a non-traditional butterfly such as the one that I'm using on my card: a butterfly shape with butterfly shadows inside of it with beautiful florals and sheet music in the background.  It truly is nature's symphony!  It's a great card to share with someone who needs a pick-me-up or to let them know that they are on your mind.


Here's what I used to make it:
Here's how I made it:
  • Aligned stencil onto light blue card panel and stenciled the pattern with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink.


  • Stamped the Thinking of You Sentiment onto the top center of the card panel using blank pigment ink.
  • Cut a piece of white lace ribbon and attached it to the card panel using craft glue.
  • Adhered the card panel to the base using double sided tape.


  • Stamped the butterfly image onto white cardstock using black pigment ink.
  • Blended Rosy Cheeks Ink around the outside of the image and then blended Minty Fresh Ink inside the image.


  • Added shading around the edges of the image with a dark gray alcohol marker and then went over the entire image with a light gray alcohol marker.


  • Added detail to daisy petals with a white gel pen.
  • Cut out the image with scissors and adhered to the card with double sided foam tape.
  • Glued down three clear acrylic bubbles.



And just like that . . . the card is done!  A beautifully detailed stamped image, such as this butterfly, makes creating such a card so easy.  You can make the coloring as light or heavy as you'd like and add as much or as little detail as you'd like.  The design speaks for itself!

Thanks for spending some time with me here on the blog.  I'll see you again next month for a new theme.  Until then . . . be well!
