Ruby Butterfly

Ever since I got my long rectangle Nestabilities I wanted to make a scallop square card with them.

I used the biggest template to cut my Ruby Red cardstock into a 3 1/8″ x 6 1/4″ rectangle and folded it in half to make my card base.

I cut down a Tea Time Designer Paper scrap to 1 1/4″ and 2 7/8″ and taped it on the bottom of the card front. Guava double stitched ribbon was tied around the top part of the designer paper.

I inked up only the word kind from the Kind Thought stamp set in Chocolate Chip and stamped it on Shimmery White cardstock. It was punched out with the Window Word Punch so that only one end was rounded. On the straight end I added a 1/4″ Groovy Guava circle and topped it off with a Pewter brad.

The butterfly from Kind Thoughts was first inked up with Ruby Red, then outlined with the Chocolate Chip marker and stamped on Shimmery White cardstock. It was cut out and layered on a 1 3/8″ Guava and a Chocolate Scallop circle.

I really like those little cards. I made another one to share with you later.
