Fill in the Blank

Have you seen the stamp set Fill in the Blank D1465?

This stamp set is extremely versatile.  Look at that flower in the top left corner.  You can drag it out and reshape it, so that it looks like a cloud.  Need a box for journaling, check out the stamp in the bottom left corner.  Do you want to highlight someone or something specific, us the arrow!

Here is some artwork that the staff at Close To My Heart put together:

 

To create this card:

For this card, we cut out the large butterfly stamp image a few times and then layered it to make it dimensional. Here are the steps so you can make it yourself: - per the Close to my Heart website.

1. Stamp butterfly with Desert Sand ink on Colonial White cardstock. Using a craft knife, cut along wings, leaving body intact. Mount cardstock piece on Cocoa cardstock and Bamboo B&T paper. Pop up wings using 3-D foam tape.
2. Stamp butterfly again on Crystal Blue B&T paper. Cut out entire image, omitting body. Mount on Colonial White butterfly using 3-D foam tape.
3. Stamp butterfly a third time on Sweet Leaf B&T paper. Cut out entire image, including body, and mount on Crystal Blue butterfly with 3-D foam tape.
4. Accent body with Opaques Mocha adhesive gems.
