Butterfly Brilliance and Butterfly Bijou DSP

This card was made before the card I showed you last week. It was the inspiration for the previous card.

The Butterfly Brilliance Collection is now available as a pre release from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue. This beautiful collection includes the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set, the Butterfly Beauty Dies, Butterfly Bijou 6" x 6" DSP and Natural Touch Specialty paper, which has a lovely wood grain texture.

To make this card I used the Butterfly Bijou 6" x 6" DSP and fussy cut numerous small butterflies. The card back ground is Basic White card stock that has been embossed with the Ornate Floral 3D embossing folder.

I cut a leaf sprig from the Forever Flourishing dies in Mint Macaron and another from Vellum card stock. These were attached behind the greeting panel.

The greeting panel is cut using a Stitched So Sweetly die. The greeting is from the Best Year stamp set and is stamped in Magenta Madness ink.

The last things I added were some Opal Rounds and some twine from the Snail Mail Twine pack.

Please contact me if you would like more information on this collection or any Stampin' Up! products.

Thanks for visiting,

Happy stamping,

Rachel

Art With Heart Team Monthly Creative Showcase for March - Card Sketch

Welcome to the Art With Heart Monthly Creative Showcase for March. Every month the talented Art With Heart Team members present projects based on a specific theme.

This month the team are using the Card Sketch below as their inspiration. A list of all the team members involved in this showcase are listed below.

I have used the new Butterfly Bijou 6"x 6" DSP pack that will be available in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue that begins in May. This paper and the coordinating stamp set are available now as a special pre order release from Stampin' Up!

I fussy cut 5 of the tiny butterflies from one of the sheets. I definitely wouldn't want to have to cut out a huge amount of these butterflies but a few was no problem. To attach the butterflies I used a Glue Dot behind their bodies and Dimensionals behind the wings to pop them up and give them some life like dimension.

The patterned paper on the bottom of the card is from the Subtle 6" x 6" DSP, but the new ones that will be in the 2021-2022 catalogue. The top section of the card was embossed using the Dainty Diamonds embossing folder.

The greeting is from the Fancy Phrases stamp set and was stamped on Smoky Slate card stock. The Magenta Madness strip below the greeting was cut using one of the Ornate Border Dies.

This card is fairly clean and simple and pretty much follows the card sketch exactly. The sketch is open to any interpretation, and will be differently by different stampers.
