Morning everyone! How was your Tuesday? Mine flew by. That's the nice thing about not being in the office on Monday, my Tuesday FELT like Monday :) Then here we are, Wednesday already!
I want to share the little card I made for Landry's first day of pre-school. She's not really old enough to "get the meaning" behind the card, BUT she is old enough to realize that her big sister is getting something and she isn't. Plus, I want her to realize that we're just as excited about her first day of pre-school as we are Abie's first day of fourth grade :)
This card was super easy to make and again I started with the butterfly first. It's an old Close to My Heart stamp, Whimsy Garden. I stamped it on that card stock you buy at Walmart, I love that stuff for these types of projects. Then I colored it in with my Bic Mark Its. I had a scrap piece of Kraft card stock that I folded in half and added another piece of scrap patterned paper to. I used one of my white pens to give the look of faux stitching and then adhered my banner with my sentiment. The last thing I did was stamp my butterfly in black in and then I adhered my colored butterfly on top. That way I didn't have to worry about cutting out those dang antenna!
I have training this morning for a couple of hours and then am headed in to the office. After that I have a well overdue hair appointment. Seems like I scheduled everything over the next couple of weeks. I'll be glad when they're over! Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by today and I'll see you all tomorrow!

Very pretty card! I have tried finding a good white pen for faux stitching and everyone that I have bought has been a dud. Any recommendations?

ReplyDeleteI like how you stamped the butterfly first, so you didn't have to cut out those antennas.
Oh ya and my Michael's does suck, lol
Nice card! I like how you rounded all the corners and the faux white stiching looks great on the kraft.
