and a bit of backstory. When my daughter got married several years ago we used a #10 card size for the ceremony programs and for the menu cards. A #10 card (also known as a tea length card) is BIG (9-1/4 x 4)...and you can put a LOT on a card that size! I'm not sure why...because I really liked #10 card, but I don't think I've made one since then ...nearly seven years ago! I'm kind of the same about butterflies. I like them...and I have all of the current Stampin' Up! butterfly dies and stamps...but I rarely use them. So...when I was inspired to pull out the butterflies for this challenge, I just knew the #10 card size would be the perfect base for my art.
This card's large size...along with the neutrals and the butterfly variations...really do look like art. I love it...so much that I made several to share...and I just might frame one!

Beautiful! I love the crisp contrast. The tea-card is a special touch, too - doesn't get used enough! XOXO
ReplyDeleteI was really surprised I like this card! Who knew? When you say this card is 9 1/4" x 4" , is that finished, cardstock size? Was wanting to make a tall skinny card, just didn't know the numbers!
ReplyDeleteHi Gloria! Thank you for your kind comment! And yes...the finished size of this card is 9-1/4" x 4"...so the cardstock is cut at 9-1/4" x 8 and scored at 4". It's a large card...and perfect when you want you want to create a card with a large impact. Thank you again! :)
