Iron-on motif {imaginisce}

This week, the ladies at Imaginisce are using the iron-on motifs. I chose this fabulous Fleur de Bling version. The papers and stickers are from the Love You More collection just released from Imaginisce.

 

Did you know you can iron on paper? I used the cute little i-rock Mini Iron from Imaginisce. There aren't any settings to fumble around with and it works perfectly with the bling.

Thanks for stopping to see my card. All week the Imaginisce blog will be sharing ways to use the iron-on motif bling. Stop on by and see what everyone else made.

I am guilty of always thinking I should start with a square or rectangle when making cards. I make a lot of them, so it's an easy and bad habit to get into.

Today I am sharing a card I made for my grandmother. It's a get well card with a twist. The front of the card is a butterfly, the back a rectangle.

I used a piece of cardboard to trace a template for the butterfly and the back. The edges of the butterfly are filed down with an emery board and then inked for definition. A Heidi Grace stamp is used for the Get Well Soon in the bottom corner.

In this picture, the message has already been written, you just can't see it. I lightly traced the outline of the butterfly for guidance, then put a "thinking of you" rub on in the inside followed by a handwritten message that followed the shape of the wings.

Add a little bling, and this card is ready to go.
