Butterfly thank you

Last week my daughters played in a benefit concert for the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre.  It was quite a big deal, and it attracted quite a bit of attention in the local medai resulting in a sell out and a wonderful fundraising result.  After such an event there are always many people to thank so I designed a card which I could mass produce without too much trouble.  ( I have since decided that if I want to mass produce I shouldn’t include embossing and watercolouring!)

The logo of the Royal Ottawa is a butterfly and the benefit was called Bows for Butterflies so I chose a butterfly for the  card.  I made them business size so individual letters could be slipped inside.  As you can imagine I didn’t make them identical.  All had the same butterfly stamp on the left but to keep myself from getting bored I used a different sentiment, different colours and made them on Whisper White, Very Vanilla and Watercolour cardstock.  To do the watercolouring I used a blender pen dipped into the ink left  on the lid of a stamp pad when the pad is pressed down.

Supplies:

Stamps: Ageless Adornment, All Year Cheer
Inks: Versamark, selection of classic stamp pads
Cardstock: Very Vanilla
Also: Gold e.p, blender pen
