Sketched Butterflies Clean & Simple Thank You Card. Touches of Ink Blog Hop - September 2024

 Good Afternoon Everyone,

Today I'm hopping with the Fabulous Touches of Ink ladies. As always we don't have a set theme - just encouragement to use a suite or bundle. 

I have chosen to use the Sketched Butterflies bundle for a super simple scrap busting card. 

I took some strips of bright card to create a bold background behind my black & white butterfly. What do you think?

------------------------------------

Take the Azure Afternoon and fold along the score line, and add one of the basic white pieces to the card front and the other to the inside of the card. 

Lay a strip of Basic White in front of you, then pop on some glue. Line up the four coloured strips making sure they butt up against each other - trim off any of the Basic White that may be over hanging. Add Glue to the whole of the back of this and add to the centre of the card. 

Ink up the sentiment and stamp along the bottom of this panel, as centrally as possible.

On a scrap of Basic White stamp the butterfly in memento and cut our with the coordinating die.

Add this above the sentiment with a dimensional.

I absolutely loved creating this card - these colours are fab together. And the layout would work with so many other combinations! 

Please continue through the hop to get so much more amazing inspiration. Simone is up next, please go and say Hi.
