Thank you Note

Yesterday I made a quik thank you note for Lendia, a friend her lent me her gorgeous BBQ for a trip that went south after a week.

This is the same Sizzix embossing folder 'Fancy Swirl' that I used yesterday. The butterfly is one of the embossing dies from Spellbinders. I don't remember the name. It comes with 4 butterflies. 2 are background and to are fancy cut. The greenish color is the back ground and I'm sure you can see the cut out of the top butterfly which gives it dimension. The thank you is a Stampin Up older stamp. The border is from the 8 x 8 Mambi Sheets by Me & My Big Ideas.

I first cut the white card stock to fit the embossing folder. I embossed the card stock with my Cuttlebug. I cut the border sheet a little larger than the embossed sheet. I use adhesive onto the back of the embossed card stock and applied it to the border paper. I used black ink on the stamp. I adhered the border paper to the white card. Next I cut out the background butterfly and the front butterfly. I used several colored inks to give definition to both butterflies. I also gave definition by distressing the edges of the upper butterfly. I adhered the 2 together at the body and used glue dots to give it height.

I hope you enjoyed the card and explanation of the making of this card.
