Spread your Wings and Fly

I've made another butterfly card.  This one is made with a large Uniko stamp that was part of an old Papercraft Society box and I've used the colours from the current AAA Cards colour challenge.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white linen card blank
     Papercraft Society 'Box 51 Uniko' stamps and coordinating die
     Versafine Smoky Grey ink
     Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
     Copics - BV02, RV02, V 12 & YR00
     Snippet of white matt card

I used grey ink to stamp the large butterfly onto a snippet of white matt card before embossing it with clear embossing powder.  The butterfly was then cut with the coordinating die before being coloured with four Copics to match the challenge colours.  I placed the card blank into my MISTI and put the butterfly onto it so I could see where to stamp the sentiment.  I removed the butterfly and stamped the sentiment with grey ink before embossing it with clear embossing powder.  To finish I attached the butterfly along its body and shaped the wings.

Birthday Butterflies

I was pleased to see my Honesty Heart card was one of the Top Three at the Pearly Sparkles Challenge and I was invited to be Guest Designer on a future challenge.  As I love making cards with butterflies, I chose the 'One or More Butterflies' challenge.  My card has six butterflies - four on the paper and two die cut from grey card.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white matt card blank
     Lawn Fawn 'Giant Happy Birthday to You' and Creative Expressions 'Finishing Touches - Dainty Butterflies' dies
     BoBunny 'Isabella' paper
     Grey pearlescent card

I trimmed the pink paper to 5" x 5" and layered it onto a slightly larger square of grey pearlescent card before die cutting the sentiment from the centre.  I set the sentiment and small pieces aside and attached the panel to the centre of the card blank.  I die cut the sentiment twice from grey pearlescent card, the first sentiment was inlaid into the card together with the small pieces from the pink paper sentiment.  I attached the second grey sentiment on top to give some dimension.  The paper sentiment was attached slightly offset to give a shadow effect.  To finish I die cut two small butterflies from grey card and attached them above and below the sentiment.

I am entering the following challenges:

     Allsorts - Anything Goes
     Alphabet Challenge - A for Air (my card has butterflies)
