Sharing a quick
and simple card I made using stamps from a set by Unity Stamp Company called
Let Adventure.
A colleague is
leaving at work and I thought the symbolism of the butterfly and the sentiment
made for a good farewell card as she is embarking on a new role with more
responsibility at another organisation.
I’ve followed the sketch over at AAA Cards for this, I stamped the
circle element last after embossing and masking the butterfly. I guess I could have just swapped out the
circle element for the butterfly but I also wanted to play at CAS Colours &Sketches and layering up my stamping helped me get the colours in. I stamped in Night of Navy and an Altenew
purple as my Gorgeous Grape stampin’ pad is still in the mail. To add my final colour
of Crushed Curry I matted my watercolour paper on a piece of Stampin' Up!
cardstock in Crushed Curry.
Over at Little Red Wagon they’re asking you to get back to basics, which I’ve done by keeping
this very basic. If I hadn’t done my
matting I could have done this up as a one-layer card as I’ve just layered my
stamping with no other layers. Have to
say I am yet to do this, I still love the weight of the extra layers, it’s one
of the things I find most satisfying about handmade cards. That and the thin colour border is always a
simple way to add a touch of elegance to a card.
