You may have seen this card on the Hero Arts Blog yesterday. I wanted to share it here as well. The design was inspired by THIS layout by Sheri Reguly. I just adore her work! Don't forget to check out Hero Arts new website and blog design. They are having loads of great giveaways this week as well!

I used the Wallpaper Background Design Block Stamp to create my own 'patterned paper' strips for my card. I stamped the background stamp on yellow, red and blue cardstock using Versamark ink, embossed each with white embossing powder and then cut the design apart into strips (I have lots of extra strips leftover to make more cards!). Then I cut each of the strips to 4" in length and adhered them along with the stamped message strip and an embossed (Cuttlebug) strip to the background before adding some zigzag machine stitching.
I cut a scrap piece of ledger paper, punched the spiral notches at the top and stamped the butterfly using the Soft Pool Shadow Ink from Hero Arts. I wanted the body to stand out so I used a fine tip black pen to add detail.
The button accents were created by layering buttons on top of the Hero Arts felt buttons and then adhering each to the layout. So easy but creates a nice effect.
I have been getting quite a few questions regarding my last post on using the Print & Cut feature on the Silhouette. I will be answering and addressing all of those in a blog post tomorrow (as well as answering those emails personally a bit later today).
Have a good one. :)
