Another March Club Card
Hi Everyone: I hope that the first 2 days of the week are going well for you. I have been busy with getting things ready to do the dreaded tax thing. Lloyd and I are leaving for Japan next week, so I would like to get as much done on preparing my taxes so that I won’t have too much to do when I get back.
We are going to visit Lloyd’s son and family for 2 weeks. It’s a long flight, and I am not looking forward to that, however, once we get to Japan, I am sure that we will have a wonderful time.
I will be blogging and posting pictures of our adventures, so please keep checking in. I plan to do another scrap book and will work on that as well.
The card today is another one that we did for the monthly club. It is a simple, elegant and monochromatic card using the Elements of Style.
Last month, I was talking about the masking technique and the ladies wanted to know what that was. So this month, I decided we could do a card that incorporates this technique.
The mask on this card is not complicated so it gave them an idea as to what was involved. The butterfly was punched from a post-it-note and placed on the card. The large image from the Elements of Style was then stamped on the Very Vanilla card stock. Vellum was used for the butterfly and the backing is another piece of Very Vanilla which was punched using the Butterfly punch. The card was spritzed using the Soft Suede marker and the Spritzer tool.
