A Butterfly Note

Hello. More time in my craft room today to create this card. My goodness – this was a labour of love. It seemed to take forever, and quite a few variations and tried at it……..

To create this card, I used some Waffle Flower products and Pinkfresh Studio inks. I started by cutting the ‘Butterfly Blossom‘ texture die out of white card stock. I then used the layering stencils to colour them all in. There are 5 layering stencils, two for the flowers, and two for the butterflies – the background and then the details on the wings. I didn’t use the fifth stencil – butterfly bodies and flower centres – as I die cut them out of Spellbinders brushed gold card stock.

I also blended a little darker shade for the flower centres, before adding the brushed gold on top to give a little added detail.

Once blended, I die cut the base layer once more and glued it behind to give a little more dimension and stability, then glued down to a card base.

The sentiment is also from Waffle Flower – white shadow layer and brushed gold for the sentiment – two more layers of white behind the words.

The most time I took was choosing which colours – I played with several other combinations until I decided on these colours – but I will play more with this set now I kinda know what is going on…..!

I shall be entering the following challenges:

Creative Fingers – anything goes

Crafty Animals – anything goes with an animal

Stencil Fun – use stencils – option of summer fun

Craft Rocket – no designer paper
