Wandering Butterflies - Just for You

Hello friends - thanks so much for stopping in.  It is Sunday evening and the weekend has been very relaxed and the weather beautiful - it is hard to believe that it is Autumn/fall and this week seems to be much of the same - or so they say!  I have a card to share with you today using those die-cuts and bibs that gather on my desk - it is endless - but a lot of fun!



Start by cutting/embossing the Spellbinders Nestabilities New Nestabilities Label 49 Decorative Elements Etched Dies using Authentique Paper and the Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine - 6" Platform.   Adhere this onto pink card stock that has been trimmed to size.  Next pop up onto a slightly larger card base using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares. 

Cut one circle using white card stock. Cut/emboss one thin wings and one backer from the Shapeabilities Wandering Butterflies Etched Dies Good Vibes Only Collection by Stephanie Low. Glue the filigree layer to the base of the butterfly and adhere to the centre of the circle,  popping up the butterflies wings using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Dodz. Attach the Little Birdie Crafts Handmade Embellishment Flower in pink to the centre of the butterfly. Pop-up the layered circle into the centre of the card front using 3D Foam Squares.

Attach the computer generated sentiment below the butterfly; trim the Want2Scrap Beautiful Bling Borders and adhere above and below the layered circle.  Baby Bing - Pink Rhinestones have been added along the border, to add a pop of colour and one to each side of the die cut card front.

  2. Lovely card Linda - the strong pinks really show off the die cuts beautifully.
    It's definitely heading into winter here with a marked drop in the temperatures and wind and rain predicted this week!! Enjoy the warmth while you have it :-)
