Butterfly Basics Card

Hello and welcome back...

Today's card is a CASE of one I saw on Pinterest, but as always they never come out quite the same....

What I liked about this card is it simple in a fussy sort of way, I like the scallop pricking across the bottom using the paper piercing templates and the two coloured butterflies. 

We did this technique some time ago using flowers, we inked the stamp in the lighter colour then daubed the darker colour around the edge..so pretty..

The honeycomb stamp is a little darker than I wanted but my ink pad in really juicy and if I stamp off then I get no second image!!! So I just went with it....lol

Then a couple of butterflies on the front of the envelope and one on the back to finish off...Just lovely...

I hope you like today's card, thanks for stopping by...

Butterfly Thinlits Cards

Hello and welcome back....

I hope you have had a good weekend, I had my best friend to stay for the weekend and we have had a great time crafting, messing around with different techniques, its been fab.....

The card I am sharing today is one that we were playing with, it stars the beautiful Butterfly Thinlits.....
My friend wanted to make a card using the negative ie using the butterfly as a stencil and daubing through, which was very pretty. I liked colouring the butterfly with different inks and using it as a focal point for the card....

You get 3 dies in the Butterfly Thinlits, the large and medium intricate cut butterflies and a solid butterfly which co ordinates with the butterfly from the Butterfly Basics Stamp Set.

I coloured each butterfly with 3 blue inks using the sponge daubers, starting with the darkest in the center to the lightest on the outer edge.

I used the spots and splodges from the Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set for the background. The sentiment is from the Wetlands Stamp Set.

I used the Decorative Label Punch to punch out the sentiment for this card, why? because I didn't get it straight on the card....lol

And there we have two beautiful cards...

Well I hope you liked today's cards, pop back tomorrow to see more of what we created...
Thanks for stopping by..
