Paper craft project no. 362: Thanks for all you do

Popping by with a card before I sign off for the weekend and get some much needed ZZZzZZZ's...that is, if the little one in my tummy will let me! She has taken to doing acrobatics at night and into the wee hours of the morning so I've not been able to sleep much lately.

The background for the card is one of the Gelli plate prints I pulled waaaayy back in March during the STAMPlorations/ARTploratinos stencil hop. (In this print, I used the ARTplorations Honeycomb Delight stencil.)  Speaking of stencil hops, we've got one coming on May 25! Anyway, I diecut the print and then stamped the leaves (from Trendy Leaves) in coffee archival ink. On scrap cardstock, I stamped the butterflies (from Trendy Butterflies) in jet black archival ink and fussy cut them. On another piece of scrap cardstock, I stamp the sentiment (from Grateful Beyond Words), cut it out, and inked the edges with spiced marmalade DI and coffee archival ink. I adhered just the middle of the butterflies and pulled their wings a bit to give the card dimension. Last, I stamped the small butterflies in black.

Linking my card to these fun challenges:

• Virginia's View Challenge #14 - Layers and Dimension
• Simply Create Too #85: Favorite Color Combo (I love orange and yellow together + you can't go wrong with black!)
• Craft for the Craic - Wings
• Simon Says Let's Get Sentimental

  

Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to smile :o)
