Polished Stone Kindness Matters-Less Is More Wings

This week’s challenge over at Less is More is entitled “Wings”

For this card I used my favorite trio of butterflies from the Kindness Matters stamp set from Stampin’ Up!

As always, this challenge calls for a one layer card.  So, I masked the center of my card base with a Post-It-Note, and did the Polished Stone Technique around it.  I used Gold Smooch Spritz, Pretty in Pink and Melon Mambo inks.

The greeting is a little crooked.  Ugh!  But, after 3 tries at making this card, I thought it would do. The hardest part of this card was keeping the ink/alcohol mixture from seeping under the Post-Note-Note.  I finally added some Dotto (temporary adhesive) to the edges of the mask, which helped keep it in place.  But then, I needed to clean off the Dotto residue from inside the mask before I could stamp.  No fear, I got out my handy dandy adhesive remover.  These one layer cards are not as easy as they appear!
