Beautiful Boho Blue Sketched Butterflies Birthday Card

 Good Afternoon Everyone,

Today I'm sharing a card I made a while back, but have only just got around to sharing it - it was on a pile of cards that I seem to have overlooked! 

It's a very simple design, and would be a great layout to keep at hand to create a lovely card quickly and easily. The Sketched Butterflies look very pretty in Boho Blue.

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

Take the Basic Gray card stock and fold along the score line to create your card base, adding the Very Vanilla piece to the inside.

Ink up a smaller butterfly image in Boho Blue and cover both strips of Boho Blue card stock with it. I did this very randomly, with a little overlapping as I felt the strips were a little thin to space them out.

Add both these panels to the card front, making sure you leave even borders all around - i found it best to use liquid glue for this as it gave me a smidge of time to make adjustments if needed.

On the Scrap of Gray Granite stamp the largest butterfly image using Boho Blue ink and cut out using the coordinating die and you Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine.

Using the 2 3/8" circle punch cut out a circle from a scrap of Very Vanilla Card Stock and stamp the sentiment in Gray Granite ink towards the lower right side, then add some of the small butterfly cluster and then add some Gray Granite ink to the edges with your blending brush.

Add the circle into the lower right hand side and then position the large butterfly at a slight angle towards the top left of the circle, overlapping it slightly, stick it down with a dimensional into the centre of the body only, then gently tease up the wings to give a little depth.

I hope you have enjoyed my project today - I loved creating this card - it's more overly complicated but looks very nice to send. This combination is great, but would look awesome using lots of other colour combos.
