SC 132 Making me Smile

Tonight when Roxi posted the SC 132 challenge
an idea jumped into my head immediately.
I just love when that happens, especially when it turns out nicely.

Be sure to check out the Updated Version Below!

I used Basic Black, Whisper White and a Light Pink Card stock. I cut the circle and the shadow for it on my Cricut using my George cartridge set at 3-1/2". I cut the hinge window and shadow with Fabulous Finds at 3-1/2" also. The small pink circles were punched with EK 1/2" circle punch. The "Small Sayings" sentiment stamped in Versamagic Midnight Black, and the small butterfly in Pretty In Pink. The small butterfly reminded me of the butterfly in Shapes and Shadows, so I stamped the larger butterflies on the Whisoer White and then embossed it with my Cuttlebug D'vine Swirl A2 Embossong folder. I was thinking the D'vine Swirl could be the motion of the butterflies.
I embossed the pink circle with the Stylized Flower A2 Embossing folder, then dragged my Brilliance Moonlight white Dewdrop ink pad over the top lightly. I did goof up withthis when I placed the card I failed to notice I had the folder upside down. The flower ended up on the wrong side of the paper. I turned the circle until I felt it matched up with the hinge placement. I think it works.

I used my SU Ticket Corner punch to punch the corners of the white and black base pieces.
I assembled the card on a Whisper White cardstock base. I always use Zots glue dots to adhere Cuttlebug embossed pieces to something. They hold well and the bumps interfer with other adhesives holding well. The hinge was trimmed after being adhered to the card. I punched through the layers and used MM large Black Button Brads to hold it in place. I think it turned out beautifully.

EDITTED: (done)I am going to add one large butterfly to the upper left corner because I don't think they show up well enough. I will post a picture of that when I finish. I just want to get a post done tonight. I stamped the large butterfly in Pretty in Pink, colored the body in with my Pretty in Pink marker and added one 2mm Hero Arts gemstone in pink for the head. I trimmed close to the image and cut one 1/16th quarter inch dimesional in half and mounted the butterfly over the top of one on the background. I bent up the wings to add to the effect of the dimmensional. I think this added just a little umpf, and dont forget bling!

Until Later... Happy Stamping!
