Cas-ology Mini

I've looked at the wonderful galleries at Cas-ology, but have never played there before. While I like a clean and simple card, the cards at Cas-ology are really minimal. Often intimidatingly minimal! And really beautiful.

But today, things aligned. While trawling through the craft aisle at The Warehouse, I found a roll of burlap ribbon reduced to clear at $1.97! That ribbon, plus the cue card at Cas-ology gave me an idea for a very clean and simple card.


I often use butterflies and layer them but usually, I use the larger one. Today, I went for the mini butterfly and I hope there are not too many layers cluttering this card! I used a very slightly textured white card that I hadn't used before, Trophe board and it has given a lovely finish, almost like a fine linen.



Update: Delighted to get an Honourable Mention at CASology!

Ingredients
Card: White Trophe board, scraps of Crushed Curry and Calypso Coral for the butterfly.
Stamps: SU Papillon Potpourri, Clearly Besotted Good Times
Ink: Stazon Black, Calypso Coral to sponge the butterfly
Other: Burlap ribbon, black mini-brad, Stitched Rectangle die (SSS), dimensionals to lift the stitched panel, black marker to colour the edge of the small square.
