Today I am sharing the card I made for the Global Design Project challenge number #168. I have used the gorgeous Butterfly Gala stamp set and the Swirly Frames stamp set to mimic the gorgeous wreath card designed by Sarah Berry.
Making the card
I began with a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝”. I inked up the largest circle from the Swirly Frames stamp set using Gray Granite ink and stamped it towards the top of the Whisper White panel. Using the Detailed Trio Punch I rounded the upper left and lower right corners of the stamped panel..

I stamped a number of the small butterflies from the Butterfly Gala stamp set onto scraps of Whisper White cardstock in Gray Granite ink and punched them out using the Butterfly Duet Punch. I coloured the butterflies in using the dark Petal Pink, dark Mint Macaron and dark Balmy Blue Blends pens; I wanted to keep to subtle pastel colours for this card. I added a body to each using Gray granite ink. Using the triple tiny butterfly stamp from the Needle & Thread stamp set I added the butterflies randomly around the circle in Balmy Blue, Mint Macaron and Petal Pink ink.

The sentiment from the Butterfly Gala stamp set was stamped in Balmy Blue ink in the centre f the circle and added the punched butterflies using Mini Glue Dots. I added the decorated panel to a piece of Mint Macaron cardstock having rounded the upper left and lower right corners as before. The whole panel was then added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finishe I added some of the lovely Share What You Love Artisan Pearls.
