Hello. I have another card created to take part on the Happy World Card Making Day 2019 celebrated last Saturday.
I am using Jillibean Soup products for this card. I cut the sentiment from JS Fresh Vegetable Soup Bite Size Bits patterned paper. I painted a wooden butterfly from the JS Large Wood Shape Assortment using Making Memories Green acrylic paint. I can't believe that this paint is still usable. I've been holding on to this product for a decade (or maybe more) now. While the paint is still wet, I poured Ranger Perfect Pearls Sour Apple to the painted butterfly. I spritz this butterfly with pearlized water to help set the pearl powder.
I fussy cut a green butterfly from the JS Chilled Cucumber Soup Peeled Cucumber patterned paper. I tried machine stitching the butterfly but since the area to stitch is too small, the machine just made one stitch. I wrapped the silver thread around the body of the buttefly and left some extras for the antenna. I applied a liquid glue to the wrapped thread and pinched it with a tweezer. I also applied glue to the antenna to make it stiff. I adhered this to the top of the painted wood butterly.
I cut the sentiment cut-apart into three parts so I can add the butterfly to the lay-out. I added a layer of patterned paper from the JS Country Pumpkin Chowder 6x6 mini pad to the back of this sentiment cut apart. To add some detail, I embossed this using a Cuttlebug Perfectly Paisley embossing folder. At first, it looks like a mess with the printed pattern and the embossed pattern trying to compete with each other. To tame things down, I blended a Close To My Heart Sweet Leaf ink using the Picket Fence Life Changing Brush to the embossed panel.
For the main panel of the card, I cut a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" panel from the JS Irish Farm House Soup Sea Salt patterned paper. I adhered a green ribbon to this making sure it is lined up with the line on the sentiment panel. I traced this line with a glitter pen for extra shine. I folded up the fussy cut butterfly and placed clear dimensional tape to the back of these wings for added dimension.
I adhered this panel to a top folding A2 note card.
Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!

I know this is a feminine card with the glitter and butterfly but it has a very nice masculine feel to it as well. I love the monochromatic tones of green!
