Card Experiment

Someone pinned this card by Heather Nichols.  Heather Nichols

I decided to make my own version of her concept.  There are four different layouts of the same card.

For this one, I printed clip art butterflies directly onto the paper
I chose for the card base.  Then I used distress ink for the shadow.

Nothing really wrong with this, it's just too one dimensional.

Three of the butterflies are printed onto the card base and the fourth one is cut out and pop dotted for dimension.

This one is better.

For this one, I laid the butterflies onto the base paper and created the shadow, then glued the butterflies onto the base paper.

I like the cut outs on the card better than the ones printed directly onto the paper but they're still too flat.

For this one, I laid the butterflies onto the card base and inked the shadow.  Then I pop dotted each of the butterflies so that you can barely see the area underneath them that has no ink.

This is the one that I like the best.
