I have the honor of being Mary Fish’s Guest Stamper today! As always, when I make a card for Mary to feature, I try to come up with something extra special. I hope you enjoy this Butterfly Basics card.
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
This cards measures 4-1/4″ wide by 5-1/2″ long when folded.
- Brick wall! I love the new Brick Wall Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, especially when I add I touch of color to make the mortar stand out. This time I used Crumb Cake ink and applied it using a sponge. The background stamp from You’ve Got This was inked in Soft Sky, and the Netting image from Butterfly Basics was inked with Sahara Sand.
- Frame it! An oval frame was created from Whisper White cardstock by using Oval Framelits. It provides a way to highlight the watercolored flowers.
- Double delight! A double bow was created using Pink Pirouette Seam Binding. A snippit of Sahara Sand lace adds a feminine touch.
Do you need a refresher on how to create double bows? Just watch this video from my archives.
I hope you enjoyed today’s card. Would you like to receive it in the mail? Just let me know in your comment. I will randomly select one person from those who leave a comment (between today and Wednesday at Noon) to receive it. It’s just a little something to thank you for being such loyal readers. Of course, if you ever have any questions about the cards I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away. Until next time…

Love your beautiful card Ann! I especially like the brick wall and mortar making a lovely backdrop for your dainty flowers. The embossed oval adds a nice touch too. Just gorgeous!! Wishing you a great week!
GORGEOUS Ann! <3
As excited as I would be to show your gorgeous card to all of my stamping friends, my 11-year-old daughter just informed me that she’s stealing your card if we were lucky enough to win to display in her room! 😉
Oh, Ann!
What a GORGEOUS card!!!!! 🙂 I love all of your details!!! It’s so pretty and just looks so layered and rich, that I didn’t even know that you used the Perfect Polka Dots TIEF until I saw your list of supplies (thank you for providing that!). 😉 I would love to get your happy mail and couldn’t wait to share it with all of my crafty friends!!! 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing!

Hi: Wow, this is a super beautiful card. I have this stamp set and all the ingredients that you used. Congratulations on being Mary’s Guest Stamper. I view both of your blogs daily and get lots of inspiration. Thank you for sharing your talents. Also, for the “reminder” on how to make the double bow. Always need a refresher.
Thanks again.
Gorgeous as always! Your cards are always so striking. Congrats on being the guest stamper!
Oh yes! I would frame this if I received it. Too beautiful to ever send away.
Your card is so pretty today! I love that stamp set.
This card certainly is extra special!!! I love the beautiful background. The seam binding and lace trim along with the floral spray make this card extra pretty and feminine. You are so sweet to offer your masterpiece. I wish you and the entire Schach family a wonderful Sunday.
Thank you for the video on the double bow. I hope to add that on a card soon.
Wow! I have this stamp set and was not sure if I would like it. After seeing what you came up with has inspired me to stamp away. TFS!
Your attention to the little details make this card a work of crafty goodness. Amazing fussy cutting on the flowers. My mailbox would be honored to find one of your cards in it! Thanks for sharing!
What an awesome card! Lots going on but no element is taking more than its share of attention. Exquisite!
Love this masterpiece. Your cards are all so amazing. I would love to receive this beauty but I could never mail it off to someone. I would have to frame it. Thanks. Kay
This card is absolutely gorgeous!!
Gorgeous card as always! The colors are so pretty, soft and cool. It is very hot out and made me feel a little cooler. I love the netting stamp too. But the best is the dark mortar treatment for the brick wall! Simply gorgeous!
This card is an “Ann Classic”! Full of beautiful details. Off to pin, my friend.
Your cards are always so lovely, filled with those details and special touches that make them stand out. Thank you for sharing your beautiful creations.
Absolutely GORGEOUS, Ann! Every detail is so GREAT! Thanks for sharing and for the video. Your style is SPECIAL!

Hi Ann,

Gorgeous as always Ann — and who wouldn’t want an “Ann Schach” piece of artwork in their home 😉 Have a fabulous week!!
I’m so proud to feature another one of your masterpieces today! Thanks for being such a caring and talented member of the group!
Absolutely stunning !
Gorgeous card. Love the background the oval framelit behind the pretty flower. would love to receive this gorgeous creation.
love, love, love it!!!
Did you fussy cut the flower? To the best of my recollection, there is no die cut for the flower, but the border looks so perfect I am just wondering if I missed something.
It was fussy cut, Barbara!
Beautiful design resulting in a gorgeous card.
Hello Ann and congratulations on being Mary’s guest stamper today. As always I love your card, you created a gorgeous master piece, a work or art beautifully colored. Love all the details of this card specially the way you framed this flower, that is one amazing idea, I’ve never thought of that, it’s perfect when you have a background panel you don’t want to cover but you still want to highlight the main image, that is so clever!!!!!
Thank you for sharing your talent and congratulations again for being Mary’s guest stamper today.
Have a fabulous Sunday.
Maria.

This card is sublime, Ann! I love that netting stamp!
What a lovely card, Ann! I’d love for it to come to my house. ;o) Thanks for the refresher on the double bow. It’s always good to review.
The embossed oval framelit adds to the shabby chic look. Gorgeous card!
What a glorious card. I really studied it because it’s a magnificent collection of elements. Thank you for the bow tying video, I never get it quite right. Once again, thank you for the beautiful card!
