Masked Butterfly Sympathy Card

When you become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, you get access to the exclusive Stampin' Success Magazine that Stampin' Up! publishes.  It is full of great ideas, and this card is one of them .....

.....

To make this card, you cut out a "mask" in a piece of copy paper using the Beautiful Butterflies die (the biggest whole butterfly).  Then you place it over your cardstock and hold it in place with sticky notes.  Then you stamp the En Francais background stamp in Pool Party right over top of the mask.  Then, with the mask still in place, you sponge on Soft Sky in the whole of the mask. When you remove the mask, you are left with this great image.  I finished it off with some Basic Pearls and a Raspberry Ripple heart from the Owl Punch.

  Stamps:  En Francais, Petite Pairs
  Ink:  Pool Party, Soft Sky, Raspberry Ripple
  Paper:  Whisper white
  Other:  Copy paper, Beautiful Butterflies die, sticky notes, sponge, Basic Pearls, Owl Punch

This card is light weight if you have to mail it, but I would use smaller pearls if you do.

Happy Stampin' ....
