A Butterfly Paper Hug

A new challenge has started at The Alphabet Challenge. Having reached the letter ‘F’, Deborah has chosen the theme of ‘Flying – anything that flies’. Here is my card:

I chose a stamp, die, and stencil set from Concord & 9th to create this card. The background is stenciled in muted tones of some Altenew brown inks/grey inks to provide some interest without taking away from the main butterfly image.

The butterfly was die cut and assembled, and added with 3D foam, and some gold gems added to the wings in strategic places.

The sentiment id also from that same stamp/die/stencil combo, the banner layered with some gold. I had to do some partial die cutting to make the gold match the curve of the banner – I don’t like fussy cutting so I’d rather work out the partial die cutting. Some small gold gems added to this banner also.

I hope you can come and join us with your ‘anything that flies’ creations – so many options to choose from. xx

I shall be entering the following challenges:

Ellibelle’s Corner – something with wings

2 Craft Critter Crazies – anything goes with a critter

Crafty Animals – anything goes with an animal

Paper Dragonfly Creative – anything goes or summer creatures

Die Cutting Divas – die cuts and critters

Triple B – birds and/or butterflies and/or blooms

    Gorgeous and your background is the perfect foil for the butterfly. Loved the sentiment and am passing on an idea of how you can make the border. Die cut another piece to match the first, cut it in half and add to each side of the first. Its a lot easier than fussy cutting and any messed up edge will be hidden behind the main piece.
