Bokeh Dots meets Painted Glass and more

It's a lovely day here in the West Midlands and I could even feel the sun on my legs when  doing my daily walk at 7.30 this morning. 

Thought this card was lovely when I'd finished it, and made my first double bow. Really liked how the bokeh dots turned out.

To recreate this card follow the guide below:
® = retired, (sab) = Sale-A-Bration, (H) = Hostess, (nsu) = not stampin’ up, (ss) = Stamp set, DSP = designer series paper, CS = Card Stock

Start with a base card of Whisper White (cs) measuring 14.8 x 21cm scored at 10.5cm

The first layer is Highland Heather (cs) and measures 14.3 x 10cm and is adhered straight to the base card using liquid glue (Tombow).

The second layer is Whisper White (cs) and measures 13.8 x 9.5cm. Place this layer in the Stamparatus and stamp the Dots from the Bokeh Dots (ss) twice, first in Balmy Blue and then sponged with Highland Heather.

Remove the Bokeh Dots stamp and place the small tree from the Golden Afternoon (ss) towards the bottom left corner of the Bokeh Dots and stamp in Memento Black Tuxedo ink.

Next stamp the birthday sentiment from Painted Glass at the bottom right side of the card in Highland Heather and then remove the layer from the Stamparatus.

Emboss this layer using the Subtle embossing folder and adhere straight down onto the Highland Heather layer.

Using an off cut of Whisper White (cs) and the Stamparatus double stamp a butterfly from the Butterfly Gala (ss) again once in Balmy Blue and then sponged with Highland Heather.

Use the Butterfly Duet punch to punch the butterfly and adhere it towards the top of the card, adding the antenae in the Memento ink and add some Basic Pearls.

Using Highland Heather Organdy ribbon (free with a £45 order at the moment) create a small bow and place it next to the sentiment.

Hope You're pleased with the result.

Will be back again soon with more cards
