World Card Day!

Hi this is Cheryl and i am excited to share my painted card with you today! 

Nowadays we rarely send cards to each other through the mail.  I love cards, receiving them, sending them and creating them.  They are little pieces of our art that are meant to cheer up or encourage someone whether it be a birthday, anniversary or a simple "thinking of you" card. 

I designed this card using some scraps of our papers along with the swiss dot paper from Bazzill and an array of our beautiful Luminarte twinking h20's.  Here is how i designed it.

 

Product

• Samantha Walker Tea Party Floral plaid paper {gold side}
• Samantha Walker Tea Party Floral pancies paper 
• Bazill swiss dot paper {white}
• Petaloo small rose
• Christine Adolph Beach Blanket Paint it! varnish paper
• Luminarte Twinkling H20's Petite kit - Autumn Brillance
• scallop scissors
• Accucut dies:  Border scallop from Medium and small butterfly, Butterfly album, Scallop lace border 
  

Directions

1. I cut my card using Bazzill swiss dot cardstock into the standard size and folded it in half. 
2. Using my Accucut border dies I cut out a two butterflies {small and med} and two borders from our Paint it paper.
3. Paint the med butterfly and both borders using Luminarte Petite autumn brilliance paints - let dry. 
4. Cut the SW gold paper approx 4-1/4"x4" and adhere to top of card
5. Cut a strip using scallop scissors from paint it paper and swiss dot bazzill paper
6. Adhere the white scallop border along bottom of gold paper.
7. Cut a small strip approx 1/8"x6" and weave into the border lace scallop and trim ends
8. Add both strips that were painted as shown leaving room for the folded strip above scallop lace border.
9. Cut a 1/4"x12" strip from SW Tea party pansy paper and fold along long edge glueing under white scallop and trimming off excess.
10. Adhere small butterfly to med butterfly.
11. Paint small rose using Luminarte Autumn Brilliance paints - let dry
12. Adhere rose to center of butterfly and adhere butterfly to card.
13. Stamp or print out sentiment and mount to scrap piece of painted scallop paper.
