One of my intentions (which has not been realized very often) was to make two identical cards when I sat down to craft so I would have a bit of a stash. The #100Day Project is definitely helping in that regard, but I don’t often make two of the same card. This time I did.
I’m entering them in the Seize the Birthday: Anything Goes challenge.
“Butterfly Blooms” might be my favorite new stamp set (although “Butterfly Folk” runs a close second.) Both are relatively new sets from Papertrey Ink. I think you’ll be seeing lots of both sets this spring and summer. I posted another one last week that I made for Besty. This time I embossed the images in white on vellum and colored the images on the back with Zig watercolor markers. I die cut a tag from “Made with Love Tags #1” (PTI) and layered the top of it with some Bitty Big patterned paper in Amethyst Allure. Using an old Cuttlebug embossing folder, I embossed some Royal Velvet paper and die cut it with a Stitched Rectangle (Simon Says.) All of it was adhered to a white card.
The sentiment from “Ways to Say: Birthday” (PTI) was stamped in Amethyst Allure on the bottom of the tag. Some sequins and a pretty silk bow finished it off. I have a lot of ideas for these butterflies, and a whole envelope of pre-stamped ones waiting for cards!
Purple is this year’s colour! I like the embossed purple background & such a beautiful blend of techniques & embellishments.
It’s perfect. I like it even better than the orange/yellow one you made previously.
Great that you are getting ahead with building up a bit of a stash. I can’t imagine how much time must go into getting a ready supply of these fantastic cards together. I think I would find it a little stressful!
I love that butterfly too! It looks so chic on purple and the embossed background adds to the festivity! I’m having more fun crafting also by building my collection of precut and stamped die cuts! It sure makes quick work to card projects! I realize that I have all the elements to case this but it will have to wait until May 20 or so.
Your butterfly is absolutely stunning! Love the rich, textured background too. Thanks for playing along with Seize the Birthday.
