A while back while I was perusing Pinterest for ideas on how to use the "Kinda Eclectic" stamp set, I found this awesome card made by Heidi Boos and pinned it to my "Ideas to CASE" board. I thought Heidi's card would look great in the Fab Friday colors and that I could turn it into a Christmas card.
I started by stamping the sunburst stamp in Cherry Cobbler onto a Very Vanilla panel. I added a row of dots in Garden Green, stamped off once. I stamped the larger butterfly in Cherry Cobbler and the smaller butterfly in Garden Green onto a Very Vanilla scrap. I punched them out with the Elegant Butterfly and Bitty Butterfly punches and adhered them to the card with a Glue Dot.
I adhered the stamped panel to a Garden Green mat and then onto a Cherry Cobbler card base. I went looking for a good Christmas greeting, tried several, didn't like any of them, and gave up. So instead of a Christmas card, I used the sentiment from the "Kinda Eclectic" set and added it in Garden Green to the bottom of the design.
I added three gold sequins for some much needed bling to finish the card. So that's my story! I might try this design again with a Christmas tree from the "Peaceful Pines" set and hope for a great sentiment in the Holiday catalog that will come out on September first!!!

ReplyDeleteI love how we go to stamp with one idea in mind and then for whatever reason the creative process veers in another direction and we come out with a lovely card just not the one we set out to make! This one is very lovely and I think the sentiment fits the feel of the card for sure! Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
