With Sentiments.

The new challenge over at my Butterfly Challenge is

for butterflies as the focal point with a sentiment .

 

These are the 3 cards I made to showcase.

 

This is for a family Birthday so will be going off in the post a.s.a.p.

I have had this  decoupage sheet in my stash for ages just waiting to be used.

Designed by Michelle Johnson and printed by Craftsuprint.

The sheet came with the base base, 3 extra butterflies and layers of the dress.

Plus a choice of sentiment.

I layered  the base onto navy pearlised  120gsm cardstock

 which I then adhered to a card base.

I decoupaged the butterflies and the tail of the dress

and added Glamour dust to the edges.

Not showing up here very clearly but does IRL.

I attached the butterflies just by the bodies so that the wings could be folded up

and added some silver gems to the swirls on the background.

Sentiment was adhered using 3d pads and given a coating of Glamour dust too.

My 2nd card is again  a sheet from Craftusprint

Designed by June Young.

Had  in my stash for ages.

I do like to try out different card shapes.

This one came ready printed so I just needed to  glue the sheet to card stock.

I had the bright idea of popping it  into the airing cupboard to dry the glue.

Guess what?  It buckled so I then had to get the iron out and iron it flat again.

Less haste more speed!!

The tricky bit was cutting the inside free.

I'm not sure what this fold is called.

The sentiment came with the sheet so I just adhered to card stock, trimmed

and  attached to the card and added pearls.

The butterflies I just added a line of glue to the antenna and glamour dusted

Pearls added for the heads.

The card still looked a bit plain so I wrapped twine round the folds and tied in a bow.

I think if I did this card again from scratch I would make a couple of design changes.

My last card .

The design paper is by Hunkdory from their Flutterby wishes pack

This particular sheet has all the  bellishments  already added.

The sentiment came in  the pack  too/

I layered onto a pink paper and then to a card base.

Added tiny gems to the butterflies .

A really quick card.
