Butterfly Gala meets Springtime Impressions

Hi all, I had a go using a thinlits die to emboss this card and I felt it went quite well. The reciepient of the card loved it today anyway, and that's all that matters isn't it. As a treat from her hubby she's off to Norway tomorrow to see the Northern Lights lucky girl, mind you hubby's going too!

I'm trying more to create from scratch now, as I feel using other people's cards from Pinterest is great but kinda cheating. Still finding hard though.

To recreate this card follow the guide below:

® = retired, (sab) = Sale-A-Bration, (H) = Hostess, (nsu) = not stampin’ up, (ss) = Stamp set, DSP = designer series paper, CS = Card Stock

Start with a base card of Thick Whisper White (cs) measuring 14.5 x 21cm scored at 10.5cm

For the first layer use Whisper white (cs) measuring 14.5 x 10.5cm and emboss using the Subtles folder. Now using the same piece of card and the big shot embossing mats emboss again using the Springtime Impressions thinlits, then adhere to the base card using liquid glue.

Stamp the sentiment on Whisper white (cs) using the Memorable Moments ® (ss) leaving enough room to die cut later.

Using an off cut of Powder Pink (cs) measuring 10.5 x 8 cm randomly stamp the swirly scroll from the Star of Light (ss) in Rich Razzleberry ink.

Die cut the butterfly and flower using the Springtime Impressions thinlits along with the Sentiment using the Stitched Labels framelits.

Position the butterfly in the bottom left corner and stamp the smaller antennae from the Butterfly Gala (ss) using Rich Razzleberry ink.

Adhere the butterfly using a combination of liquid glue (for the body) and very small pieces of dimensional pads for the edge of the wings.

Use a glue dot to adhere the flower and dimensional pads to place the sentiment.

Finally colour 2 small Basic Rhinestones and 1 Iced Rhinestones ® using Rich Razzleberry blends and add to the butterfly and flower.


Will be back again soon with more cards
