Artsy Butterflies

I have made a couple cards with the Simon Says Stamp Artsy Butterflies stamp/die/stencil set, along with a couple Simon sentiments!...

This set of butterfly stamps is SO pretty!!  Artsy is a perfect description of them, no two are alike...and they are not your typical butterflies in their design.  I LOVED having gotten the stencils for them...made coloring them so much fun and so easy!  This first one, simply done, I brushed ink onto two butterflies, then adhered them to an embossed panel with a stamped/die cut/ and layered.  I added some enamel dots that I had colored with a blue marker, then popped up the panel on the card.  Here's a close up...  

The second card,  used all six of the full flying butterflies, on a slimline card, and colored them in rainbow style...

I colored each of them, then scored them down each of their "middles", folded them a bit, then added some sticky foam and sticky dots under their wings and body, respectively, then added them to a slimline panel.  I'm so sorry, but I used SO many inks on these...two of each color, and changed some, added a third to one, so I have not put all the inks below.  Just know, that two shades of any similar Simon color (two of the three they come in), will be perfect!!  I colored some more enamel dots, framed the panel with black cardstock, then adhered to a card with a birthday sentiment stamped on it.  I found a purple envelope in my stash that went with the color of the butterflies, and done!  Here's a close up...

The possibilities of this set are HUGE!!  I love butterflies, but am drawn to the artsy nature of these guys, that would make me choose them first, should I need/want a butterfly for a card!  Hope you have had a great weekend!  I trimmed my front bushes this morning, and made banana muffins just a little bit ago...all in all, a great end to my weekend!  Please take care!

Thank you for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa
