Butterfly CASE CTMH Style and Tutorial

Remember that butterfly notecard set I donated for a raffle basket?  Well I actually donated two notecard sets.  Today I am going to show you the second set.
I CASE’d a gorgeous card made by  Heather Telford.  She is ultra talented and I love all of the cool techniques that she uses.  Here is Heather’s card.  And here is mine.

My card looks almost exactly the same as Heather’s but mine was done with Close to My Heart Stamps while Heather’s was done with stamps from a different company.                                                                                      
                                                                                                                        Let me show you how I made this card.  The first step was to mask off my design area.  I used Judikins Eclipse Tape to mask off my design area.  So much easier than post-it notes!  Then I clear embossed the two “white” butterflies using the retired Close to My Heart Stamp Set Butterflies (B1034).

Then I sponged Close to My Heart Sunflower Ink over the entire design area.

I stamped a few butterflies with the Sunflower Ink.

And then sponged some Sunset Ink around the edges of the sponged area and towards the middle, leaving some of the Sunflower Ink showing.

Then I stamped some more butterflies in Sunset Ink. I sponged Cranberry Ink just around the edges.  See the words stamped over the sponged area?  It is from the Close to My Heart Stamp Set called Universal Backgrounds (D1477).  It is stamped in Cranberry Ink that has been “stamped off” lightly before stamped onto the design area (Second generation).

Now I am ready to finish my card.  I pull off the tape and stamp another butterfly.  The butterfly has been inked in Sunset Ink, “stamped off” (second generation) and then I rolled the outside of the stamp in Cranberry Ink and stamped the butterfly at the top of the card. (Rock and Roll)

Now all I need is a sentiment.

Tomorrow I will show you the other cards in this set.
