Rocking it

 Hi there!

Once again, Mrs. A has enticed me to try a different kind of card for the Butterfly Challenge. This time around, the challenge is to make a rocker card, and she has instructions for at least 4 different versions on her blog. I started here with the basic one, but I've bookmarked the page to go back and try some more advanced versions (which usually have side steps).

I traced around a 6-inch bowl to create the base circle and kept the height so that it will fit in what used to be known as a "small business envelope," which is something like 6.5 x 3.5 inches.

The base is made from a rather large snippet of sage card stock, and on top of that I used a snippet of a fun print that shows a flower garden. I heat-embossed a Hello sentiment to make it more visible than regular stamping and added a butterfly made from stacked die-cuts (more snippets) with a little pearl embellie.

This card is for these challenges:
