It was my lovely crafty buddy, Alison's, birthday on Friday and this is the card I made for her. It's another gatefold stepper, this time using Prima Sun Kiss papers. The panel at the back was made with a Kanban stamp which was stamped in Rich Cocoa Memento ink. I then coloured the butterflies with Promarkers, glittered with Stickles in Yellow and Aqua, and, once that was dry, glazed with Anita's 3D Gloss. When the glaze was dry, I added some colour with Distress Ink in Scattered Straw and Wild Honey. Finally, I gave it a spritz with a gold Cosmic Shimmer spray, wiping the butterflies clean.
The other butterflies were fussy cut from the paper and the sentiments are Papermania from the Tulip range.
A close up of the main panel.
The back where a message can be written.
The card closed. I made the flower with a Woodware punch with Flower Soft in the centre. The leaves were made with a Spellbinders die.
