I was just having so much fun with butterflies, I decided to make another card...or two:) for Less is More challenge 16!! The cool thing about making butterflies like this(cutting around their wings) is that you can make them pop off the card without adding more paper. I made the orange/yellow/blue one first, but like the whimsically colored one a bit better, my second try:
I used a stamp set from Papertrey Ink Butterfly Basics...stamping and embossing the butterflies. I colored the top card with Sharpie markers, the bottom one with SU markers. I used this tool and cut around the butterflies' wings:
Wow..need some nail polish and a manicure:)!! It has a tiny razor tip that swivels as you cut...easy peasy cutting!!
I added a sentiment from Papertrey Ink, as well. Again, what fun!!!!
I opened up the Less is more website to leave some more comments on cards this morning, and saw my card from last week!! The flood of emotion is hard to describe...shock, joy, honor, shock, more shock and utter happiness...I am truly honored!!! You have no idea how much this meant to me, thank you, Mandi and Chrissie, for ShowCASing my card...amongst so many wonderful stampers and cards I am truly humbled!!
Now, it's back into the gallery....
Things I used:
Stamps: Papertrey Ink Butterfly Dreams, Signature Greetings
Paper: Bazzill white
Ink: stazon black, SU markers(Ballet Blue, Bashful Blue, Daffodil Delight, Barely Banana, Pumpkin Pie, Really Rust, Sharpie markers
Extras: Fiskars cutter, clear embossing powder

ReplyDeleteBoth your butterfly one are gorgeous, I love the light shading around the edge and the stunning butterflies on this one. The check paper on the previous one really gives the whole, beautifully balanced card impact.
