Butterfly Kisses to you ~ Butterfly Circles & Les Papillion washi tape

Hello blogger's Monday soon comes around, I hope you had a good weekend I know I did.  Today I have a sunny yellow butterfly card.

This card began as an A4 sheet of topsy turvy card stock that I cut  and scored to make a 4x7 card blank.  Next using a left over piece of yellow patterned paper I cut it to size and then added washi tape to the top and bottom of the paper.  The paper was then adhered to the card blank.  Next using topsy turvy card stock and Spellbinders 'butterfly circles' die set I  die cut two different sizes from the set.  The smaller die cut was use using the pale yellow side.  On to this I stamped my sentiment using staz-on ink black and Particraft butterfly 2 " stamp set.  The larger die cut was used using the yellow side.  The two pieces were layered up and adhered to the card.

Next I used the same topsy turvy card stock to die cut the butterflies using Spellbinders 'les papillions' die set.  They were then sprayed with Crafter's Companion spray and sparkle.  Once dried they were adhered to the bottom of the card.  Finally I used a black pen to add the trails behind the butterflies.

Tactile Duck ~ Handmade paper and crochet ribbon

Hello bloggers today's card is very tactile with tactile feet and crochet ribbon.

This card began life as a white hammered 6x6 card blank.  To the front I adhered some gorgeous pink handmade paper.  Next I attached two mats at angles and overlapping to the card blank.  The duck topper has tactile feet and was a remnant from another card, this was adhered to the top mat.  Next the butterfly was die cut using Spellbinders ' les papillions' die set.  The two layers were adhered together to give it dimension.  Once dry the butterfly was adhered to the top left hand corner of the card.   Next some crochet ribbon was adhered to the front of the card using redline tape.  The sentiment was stamped onto pink cardstock using black soot distress ink and Creative Expressions ' sentimental sayings' stamp set.  It was then die cut with Spellbinders 'label H' die set.  Finally faux pearls were adhered to each corner of the card.

Butterfly card - les papillions

Hello bloggers today's card is a butterfly card, they are such beautiful creatures I just can't get enough of them.

This card began as a white hammered DL card blank.  First I cut to size some pink textured holographic card stock.  Next I added some vintage butterfly paper to the top part of the card.  Using an assortment of white and vintage papers I die cut three butterfly sets using Spellbinder 'les papillions' die set.  Once they had been die cut I layered each one up to give dimension to them.  The white one was lightly inked over with mustard seed distress ink to take away the brightness of the white paper.  The butterflies were then adhered to the card blank.  Using the computer I typed up the sentiment from my book of verses that I have collated over the years.  This was then printed out onto white card stock.  It was then die cut with Spellbinders 'labels seventeen' die set.  Whilst still in the die I inked through with mustard seed distress ink.  This was adhered to the card blank to finish off the card.
