The center panel is from some beautiful designer paper. I was sitting with a customer and she said "I could never use that to make a card" I couldn't help but think, it's already a card. cut down to this size, you don't need much else!
I flipped the elements over to the right side, so I wouldn't cover the big pretty butterfly on the left.
I looked through so many sentiments.. thank you and birthday, and I was looking for a specific one that I misplaced.. I never found it. When I saw this stamp set, I thought "yeah". The word cherish sums up in one lump how I'm feeling.
Measurements:
- That gorgeous center panel with the butterflies, is cut to 3x4. From a 12 x 12, you could get enough for 12 cards from one sheet.
- Just below that layer is Rose Red cardstock cut at 4 1/4" (so cut an 8 1/2" x 11" piece in half), then cut that long piece at 3 1/4" You can get 6 for every sheet of cardstock, so two pieces, would cover the entire piece of dsp.
- The base is 11 x 4 1/4", and it was scored and folded in half at 5 1/2"

Selene,
Not only are you're sketches the bomb...but this card is fantastic. You have taken so little and made it into a magical card that is full of color and life. I love it.
You have inspire me to take some of my DSP out and use it as backgrounds. I rarely do that but will now!!!! Just beautiful!!!
I'm hoarding that piece of DSP...I think the butterflies are so pretty...but you've inspired me to use it on a card like this! Great job, Selene!
Selene,
Not only do I love your card for this sketch - I love the whole post. Great that BK is better and I look forward to seeing you this spring when we return from sunny but very cold Florida.

Wonderful card! I have some difficult DP to use up, and this is a great design. Thanks for the inspiration.
Love how you showcased that designer paper! I just love DSP!
I love this!
Great to hear that your family is getting back to good health. Love the simple design of this week's 411. Hope to get one posted. Your DSP is too beautiful to add too much stuff. Love the simplicity of what you did.

Selene-ohhh, as usual I love your card--in fact I'm giving you credit for it as I just about cased it for one of my Gathering projects & bags. You give such great inspiration!!!
Hope you'll take a quick look and let me know how you like it. Nola
