Heard from the Heart and Flight of the Butterfly


This is a card that is featured in one of my November classes. Only because I have a birthday coming up and I am sure some of you have birthdays of friends this time of year, too.
I loved this layout I cased from Crystal French from Denver and I love using designer series paper on my cards. It just adds so much!
I used brocade blue as the card base, Very Vanilla for the inside and for the band on the front, Bella designer series paper.
If you want to make this card, please let me know and we will schedule a class for you and your friends.



Close up of the butterflies and a picture of the inside of the card. A mini envelope is included with this card just in case you want to add a gift card, check or cash.
The regular bigshot envelope is too small for a gift card. I was able to enlarge this with a simple fold before it was cut making the whole envelope just large enough for a gift card.
The butterflies were cut using the bigshot die then 'loosened up' by rolling between my fingers. I put a double layer of dimensionals just under the winds and bent the middle down and added some mini pearls for the body.
The inside of the card is scalloped at the bottom with the dsp under it and it is double scored around the edges to give it some extra finesse.
