Yippee- Skippee

I love this card because of the many layers that make it pop. The butterfly is the star of the show!

The base is once again the Gold Soiree DSP…yes my favourite! On this I layered a piece of vellum and a page from an old book…yes I love pulling pages out of old books and using them on my cards!!! Next I cut a tag using whisper white card stock and scalloped tag topper punch. I added some extra detail that you have to look very carefully for…some modelling paste (found in any good craft store) applied using the dots and stripes decorative mask (133775) and an old credit card. You simply lay the mask on the white card and pick up a small amount of the modelling paste and apply it in a down ward motion running the credit card down the page a few times. Remove the mask and wipe it clean and wait for the page with the paste to dry.

I cut the butterfly out using a retired butterfly die (however there's some fabulous new ones out now). I cut the small butterly out of vellum with the elegant butterfly punch and used some black card stock and white embossing powder to stamp the 'hi there' sentiment from 'Hi There' stamp set (134216). I added the "yippee-skippee" sentiment from 'Yippee-Skippee' set (131344) also using black card stock and whisper white embossing powder. I added a strip of washi tape under the yippee skippee sentiment, a wooden peg whitened with some white paint and also a piece of pistachio pudding thick bakers twine.
