Kitchen Sink Stamps - Butterfly Birthday

 Hello! Today I have a mini-slimline card that I made to help promote the Mod Squad Challenge Blog which has been sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps. The Mod Squad Challenge page can be found here: https://modsquadchallenge.com/birthday-butterflies/

The deadline to enter the current challenged is 12 p.m. EST on 2/28/2022  The Mod Squad Challenge is a card challenge. The designer selects a theme, creates a card for the theme, and then card markers entire their cards.  There is a $25 gift card for Kitchen Sink Stamps given to one random winner. There are also three top cards selected by the designer (no prize, but bragging rights!).

To create my mini-slimline card I used the Butterflies stamp set from Kitchen Sink Stamps and my sentiment came from the Words 4 Celebrating Stamp Set. I also used the Cloudy Skies Stencil from Kitchen Sink Stamps.

These are the steps I took to create the card:

1. Using the free SVG cut files available from Kitchen Sink Stamps, I stamped the smaller open winged butterfly SVG (with and without antenna) using the following Catherine Pooler Ink (Starting with Layer 1):

• Layer 1: Oh Boy!
• Layer 2: Something Borrowed
• Layer 3: Juniper Mist (Stamped off 1 time)

I repeated these steps with the following Catherine Pooler Ink  (starting with Layer 1):

• Layer 1: Chiffon
• Layer 2: Limoncello
• Layer 3: Tiara

2.  From the Words 4 Celebrating stamps set, I used to SVG files and stamped Happy Birthday with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink. 

3. Using the Cloudy Skies Stencil and Catherine Pooler Oh Boy ink, I ink blended clouds for the background panel (size: 2.75" wide x 5.75" tall). 

4. Using Oh Boy Ink from Catherine Pooler, I swiped my ink pad directly to another piece of paper to create a mat layer (3" wide x 6" tall) 

5. Using black card stock I created a black card base (size 3.25 wide x 6.25" tall) and adhered both the Mat Panel and the cloud back ground panel. 

6. Using foam tape I adhered the sentiment to the cloud layer.

7.  I adhered the butterflies without antenna flat to the cloud panel. I adhered the butterflies with antenna with a thin line of glue along the body of the butterfly and lined them with the flat butterflies. 

Thank you for visiting my Blog - have a hopeful day!
