This week on the Simon Says Monday Challenge the challenge is All Creatures Great And Small.
As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away a $50 voucher to shop at their store.
It's been a blessing to be the Designer Spotlighter this month!!! Thanks so much, Simon Says Stamp and Lols for this opportunity!!
Butterflies are a favorite of mine and so I've used them for this challenge!!
I created a card. All the printed paper is from the Tim Holtz Paper Stash Cardstock Pack (Wallflower) except the very top panel which is Tim Holtz Paper Stash - Vellum (Wallflower). Let's work from the bottom up. The base is a white folded card measuring 6 1/2" x 5 1/4". Next is a piece cut from the cardstock pack to measure 6 1/4" x 4 3/4". This has a piece of Tim Holtz Design Tape from the Butterfly pack wrapped around it. Next up is another piece cut from the cardstock pack to measure 5 3/4" x 4 1/2". Next is white cardstock cut to 5 1/4" x 4" and embossed using the Tim Holtz Sheet Music Embossing Folder. The top panel is cut from a piece in the Vellum pack and measures 5" x 3 3/4". All the layers have their edges distressed and they are layered together using foam tape. The foam tape holding the vellum layer on is only behind the butterflies.
For the butterflies I've used the Tim Holtz/Sizzix Butterfly Duo cutting die and embossing folder set. I cut the butterflies from paper from the Wallflower cardstock pack, embossed them and then inked over with Distress Ink Brushed Corduroy.
The string is Tim Holtz/Eclectic Elements Craft Thread. The butterflies are attached just in the body area using foam tape. After attaching them over the Craft Thread, I also added some further dots of glue to hold the craft thread keeping all the adhesive under the butterflies. The wings are not attached at all and can be bent as much as a person would like. For the words I've used a couple of stickers from the Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Chit Chat pack and edged them with Brushed Corduroy. To finish it up I've added dots of Liquid Pearls (White Opal).
I hope you like this card!! It's not difficult and amazingly I haven't done any background techniques but it is beautiful!!
Thanks so much for following along!!
Hugs, Wanda
