Inkspirational wants us to use stencils. I used both a butterfly stencil and a text stencil. Try It On Tuesday wants us to add some text. And Seize the Birthday wants to see silhouettes.
I sponged through the butterfly stencil with various blues and mauves, then laid the script stencil over it, and went over the script with embossing paste. Because the butterfly stencil was still in place, I only got text embossing within the butterfly.
I then stamped the two small butterflies on my main panel and trimmed it with a square die. Then stamped the larger butterfly and sentiment in purple on scraps of cs and heat embossed them, then die cut them with oval dies. I rubbed the edge of the ink pad around the ovals to give a bit of definition to them and then assembled the card.
I was going to add it to the Paper Players tic-tac-toe challenge (the top horizontal row - CAS, something that flies, square card) but realized it wasn't actually CAS once it was done. So I made a quick Christmas card for the same tic-tac-toe row (and I really do need to plough on with Christmas cards). I'm also adding it to Christmas All Year (blue Christmas).
A very easy card with a stamped and heat embossed peace dove, die cut with an oval, and mounted on white glitter cs cut with a fancy die, and on a blue shimmer card base.
