Monochromatic 1st try!

With a splash of color! I have seen so many YouTube's, tuts, and blogs doing this in the past, but never tried it myself. Because of the circumstances, I must use what I have. I have plenty white card stock, so I tried to do this white on white. I only have 5 ink pads and of those, only have black & green ribbons to match. So I started with green. You know what? Y'all are right! This was hard!
I started with a standard A2 base 5.50 x 4.25. Next layer,1/8" smaller and I ran it through the Cuttlebug using the 'swiss dots' folder. Then wrapped green ribbon around that.
Next layer is the #5 die from Spellbinders Labels Eight set. I 1st embossed a piece of paper with the cuttlebug folder 'divine swirls', then cut & embossed using the spellbinders #4 in the set. So that layer was double embossed! Layer is popped up on "Sandy tape."
Layer #3. Stamped in my one green pad. I used #4 die from the same set, just cut and emboss one time.Again, Layer is popped up on "Sandy tape."
Inside, I added one layer of card stock liner 1/8" smaller and using the smallest die in the set, I stamped, in the matching green, a butterfly from an old Hero Arts set 'Kimono'.
Need to put these away ASAP! Lost 3 cards the other night. Tom let cat in, cat walked on table, since no one was around to yell at him and cards now all have muddy cat paw prints!
