FOUND CRAFTING OBJECTS

Today I went digging in some drawers that I haven't investigated for quite some time, in search of an idea for the latest Inkspirational Challenge #336 - CAS with an optional twist to use stickers, rub ons, or ephemera. 


In one drawer full of envelopes, I found this small ivory envelope lined with dark gray printed paper. I think I might have made this envelope quite a few years ago and then couldn't figure out how to use it. In another drawer I found these dimensional butterfly stickers. I stamped the sentiment from Hero Arts "Hero Greetings" #CM351, using a dark gray ink on the envelope. I also found an iridescent pocket card I thought to use for the card base and I cut off the pocket to make a standard card. Surprisingly I found a matching piece of the same iridescent stock that I die cut with a stitched rectangular die. I glued the envelope to the face of the card and stuck on the butterflies.


Looking at this up closer, I think you might see that the stickers have a bit of iridescent aqua on the top layers of their wings. Finally, I lined an ivory envelope with a scrap of ivory and charcoal printed paper - that's it!
