The current Butterfly Challenge is Q for Quad Easel Card. Mrs A has put all the instructions HERE for making the card. As the card will need a 'large' stamp if it's posted, I decided to use a slightly larger card blank to give a little more room for the easels. (The base is a card blank which opens up to write the message.) I included all the elements of the challenge Quad Easel Card/ Quartz "Gems"/ Quinacridone/Quick Sand/Quince + Butterfly.
(Gems = Clear stones, Quinacridone = Magenta, Quick Sand = Light Yellow, Quince = Green.
I started by sticking a 6" x 6" sheet of the patterned paper to a 7" square card blank. The patterned paper is from a Kaisercraft paper pad, which came as a magazine cover gift several years ago. The butterflies are Poppystamps 'Elsa Butterfly' and 'Lyndon Butterfly'. I added three square clear gems in the corner of each little square.
This is the view from above.
The pale yellow card was embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder with little flowers on. The sentiment panels are raised up on foam pads to act as a stopper for the easels.
The card folds flat for posting. (The bulldog clips are just there to keep the card flat for taking the photo.)
