The paper is white, and embossed with six different patterns--stripes, dots, stars, etc. You can use it plain for a very subtle look, or sponge with color for a variety of effects. I used the little flower pattern here.
Start with a slice of the Irresistible flower paper 5 x 3 3/4". Stamp the fern from Butterfly Basics multiple times with Wild Wasabi ink onto the bottom half of the card. (You can choose from three types of stamp sets-wood, clear-mount or polymer, and also get a discount by bundling it with the Butterfly Thinlits. I chose the polymer bundle, 'cause I do love to pay less for the same thing! When ordering, be sure to enter only the number for the bundle, and not the two items seperately, in order to get the discount.)
Then, with a Stampin' Sponge, carefully clean off the excess ink by rubbing in a downward motion, swirling along the bottom half of the card to get the effect of a meadow.
Next, sponge Soft Sky ink onto the top half.
Stamp your sentiment (from Sale-a-Bration Simply Wonderful stamp set) on Whisper White card stock and punch out with the Extra-Large Oval punch. The tag underneath is done with a Modern Label punch, cutting the shape in half to widen it. Stick all three pieces together and attach to the card with snail tape.
Attach your meadow to a Blushing Bride card base with snail tape. (I actually used Pretty in Pink, but that's retired now. If you don't have any left, Blushing Bride will look fabulous with the other colors on this card.)
Cut your butterfly out using the medium thinlit with a Silver Foil Sheet.
Use Glue Dots only in the center of your butterfly to stick it too the card, and don't press too hard, because the little lumps will show through the foil. Fluff the wings up a little to make it flutter!
