Lavender Butterfly Thank You Card

I made this card for my “baby”
sister as a small token of my thanks for everything she does for our parents--every
day. After spending a week in Texas working side by side with her cleaning and
rearranging our folks’ house, I’m reminded how much of a saint she is.

sponges and soft towels paper cutter, scissors, Score-Pal & bone

Directions:
- Follow the direction for paper
making and casting found in any of the Arnold Grummer paper making kits or
books to create a sheet of medium colored lavender handmade paper. (Or use
some of the left over handmade paper from the Lavender Roes Box.)
- When the paper is dry, use the
butterfly dies to cut one large and two small butterflies.
- Cut the white card stock cut at
an angle 11” long, 5 ½” on the left and 3” on the right (this will make
two cards.) Use the embossing folder to emboss the card.
- Score from the left at 4” and 7
¾”. Fold the card on the score
lines.
- Lightly apply the pastel sidewalk
chalks to the embossed areas of the card.
- Stamp the verbiage onto the small
white piece of card stock with Lavender Blue Chalk ink.
- Use the Stylist™ and tip to apply
Lavender Blue Chalk ink to the edge of the card and verbiage piece and the
three butterflies.
- Use foam tape to attach the verbiage to the bottom of the card. Cut a small slit at the right hand fold, insert the ribbon and tie a bow. Attach the three butterflies with Beacon QuickGrab™ Adhesive.
