Butterfly Thank You Card Featuring Hero Arts Stamps

Bring out the sunglasses, because today I’m sharing with you a fun, BRIGHT card I created with more of my new Hero Arts stamps.  Have I told you yet that I’m falling in love with Hero Arts stamps (in case you haven’t noticed LOL)?   The ones I used for my card today were ones that I received at that CHA Hero Arts class I told you about in my last few posts. 

Here’s how I made today’s card:

1. Dry emboss the front of a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ Melon Mambo card with the Square Lattice embossing folder. 
2. Scallop one edge of a 2 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Chartreuse CS.  Center and stick a strip of the Garden Grove Cypress Street patterned paper from Scenic Route onto the scalloped CS piece.
3. Stick the scalloped CS piece to the card front with Tombow liquid adhesive about 1/4″ away from the left edge of the card.
4. Stamp the frame from the Sweet Threads Labels Hero Arts stamp set onto Whisper White CS in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Cut it out. Stamp the frame a second time in black ink and then stamp the “Thinking of You” greeting from the Find Joy Hero Arts stamp set in the center of the frame with Melon Mambo Classic ink.  Cut out the center oval and then stick it to the center of the first frame with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Stick the frame to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
5. Stamp the butterfly image from the Lauderdale Floral Hero Arts stamp set onto a scrap of Whisper White CS in Melon Mambo Classic ink.  Color in the center of the wings with a Pink Pirouette Stampin’ Write marker.  Embellish the butterfly with pink rhinestones and black pearls.  Stick the butterfly to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few extra pink rhinestones to the frame and DP.  You’re done!
