One-Layer Wednesday 6 - Overlapping












I've mentioned Susan Raihala's blog here before. It's definitely one of my favorites. She has new content virtually every day, and her style is fabulously clean and simple, just what I aspire to creating. Susan has a One-Layer Wednesday challenge each week, and though I always mean to participate, this is the first week that I've managed to do so. This week's challenge is to create a card with the sentiment overlapping the main image, which is something that I love to do.

I had it in my head to make a card with a butterfly. So off I went to my stamping index book to look at the butterfly pages. And I couldn't f or the life of me decide on just one butterfly. So I decided to make a set of different butterfly cards. These four butterflies were my favorites for this technique.

Details:

Card 1 (In dreams and in love...): stamps - Butterfly of Happiness (Stampin' Up!), Heart Print Sentiments; ink - Hawaiian Shores, Memento Tuxedo Black; paper - White
 

Card 2 (You're Amazing): stamps - Butterfly Dreams, Thankful Blossoms (Verve); ink - Spring Rain, Memento Tuxedo Black; paper - White

Card 3 (Thank You): stamps - Wonderful Wings (Stampin' Up!), Giga Guide Lines; ink - Aqua Mist, Memento Tuxedo Black; paper - White
 

Card 4 (Know in your heart...): stamps - Pop Fashion (Pink Paislee), Heart Print Sentiments; ink - Simply Chartreuse, Memento Tuxedo Black; paper - White
