Thank You So Very Much - Butterfly Gala & Forever Fern

My card today is super soft and feminine I think. Absolutely love how this one turned out although it wasn't where I intended to go with it.

My Stampin' Up! Color Fusion for today is Just Jade, Highland Heather and Purple Posy - the card base is Crumb Cake and the images are stamped on Whisper White.

I used the following cuts of cardstock:

• Crumb Cake: 11" x 4¼", scored at 5½"

• Purple Posy: 3¾" x 5"

• Whisper White: 3¾" x 1½"

I also used the following stamps and/or dies:

• Butterfly Gala: "Thank you so very much" sentiment stamp

• Butterfly Gala: Monarch look large and small butterfly

• Butterfly Gala: solid upper portion of large butterfly

• Butterfly Gala: solid lower portion of large butterfly

• Butterfly Gala: solid small butterfly

• Detailed Trio punch

• Butterfly Duet punch

• Forever Fern stamp set: multi-leaves stamps

• Forever Flourishing dies: matching multi-leaves dies

Directions:

1. Trim a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock to 11" x 4¼" and score at 5½"

2. Use your bone folder to get a nice crisp fold in your card base

3. Trim a piece of Purple Posy cardstock to 3¾" x 5"

4. Trim a piece of Whisper White cardstock to 3¾" x 1½"

5. Stamp 2-3 of the multi-leaf stamps from the Forever Fern stamp set in Just Jade ink (I stamped off first on a couple of mine to get slightly different color variations)

6. Stamp 1-2 of the rounded leaf stamp in Highland Heather ink, stamping off once to get a lighter shade closer to that of Purple Posy

7. Stamp the “thank you so very much” sentiment stamp from the Butterfly Gala stamp set in Highland Heather ink on your piece of Whisper White cardstock

8. Stamp the large and small outline butterfly image in Highland Heather ink onto Whisper White cardstock (see image for further details - and don’t forget to check your scraps!)

9. Use the solid upper and lower images for the large butterfly stamp in Highland Heather ink, stamping off once prior to stamping to get a lighter shade

10. Using the small solid butterfly image stamp in Highland Heather ink, stamping off once prior to stamping to get a lighter shade

11. Use the matching Butterfly Duet punch to punch out your stamped large and small Highland Heather butterflies

12. Use the matching dies from the Forever Flourishing die set to die cut out your stamped leaves

13. Use your Detailed Trio punch to punch the decorative corners and round the edges of your Purple Posy cardstock

14. Apply Stampin’ Seal to the back of your Purple Posy punched cardstock and adhere down, centered, over your Crumb Cake card base

15. Apply a small amount of Stampin’ Seal in the center of your Purple Posy cardstock, just enough to adhere down the stems from your diecut leaves in Just Jade and Highland Heather

16. Add Adhesive Foam Strips to the back of your Whisper White sentiment and adhere down covering the stems from your leaves

17. Apply a small amount of glue from your fine tip glue pen just over the body area of your large and small butterflies and adhere down with the large butterfly in the top right corner of your sentiment and your small butterfly in the bottom left corner
