Hello, crafty friends, can you believe that January is almost past us by? Where does time go? Inspiration for my card today was from a much cooler day during my 8-4 working week where I realised I was listening to the birds outside my study window and glance out and saw a beautiful butterfly in the garden.
I've used the Beautiful Butterflies bundle, which includes stamp set, dies and 3D embossing folder. You can use the embossing folder as a background and selected die cuts also fit into the images in the folder - like my large colourful butterfly, I love these multi purpose folders, so many options to make gorgeous cards!
I've used both embossed (background) and de-bossed (feature butterfly in this design..... it may have been a slight oversight/accident, but never the less I'm more than happy with the result. Before cutting the feature I used blending brushes to apply Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight, and then flick water over the colouring, then I die cut and ran through the embossing folder.
A little splatter of ink on the background and a touch of bling with Blooming Pearls to match the Gold embossed sentiment and ribbon and my card was complete.
Thanks for visiting today, I hope you enjoyed viewing my project. Stay tuned for more inspiration and tips this month. I’ve listed the products I used below, just click on the picture and be taken directly to the product.
I truly appreciate your support, it inspires me to keep crafting and helps to keep my blog and YouTube channel running. If you live in Australia and don't already have a Demonstrator that you shop with I'd love to be yours.
What a stunning project! (Then all of your projects are.) Welcome back. Have missed you.
