I needed a long overdo thank you card and the SCS CAS186 Challenge fit the bill. The challenge is to make a clean and simple card using fabric.
I started by running the Delia Butterfly by Memory Box through my Sizzix Vagabond with some very thin scrap pink gingham material. It was still to thick to actually cut right through the material, however, it did leave enough of an impression to hand cut it out. I die cut the Fin Butterfly by Memory Box out in Black. I used a glue pen to adhere the Fin Butterfly over the material Delia Butterfly. These Memory Box dies can be purchased at Ellen Hutson's store. I do love these dies!!!
The background panel is a 5 x 5 square that the top 2/3 has been stamped with Rubbernecker's Chickenwire Background-16383 in Spun Sugar Distress Ink. I also sponged around the edges every so slightly. I pierced around the edges and added some rhinestones from the dollar store and a strip of American Crafts Lip Gloss Crushed Velvet ribbon.
Then I popped up the butterfly with pop dots. Clean and simple is not my forte' but I think I get E for effort.
