Hello all! This card was created for the Global Design Project Theme
Challenge "Beautiful Bugs". This is one of those ideas that came to me in the
middle of the night, lol!
I just recently bought the Brilliant Wings Dies. My head is full of
different ideas for using these, so you'll probably be seeing a lot more of
them on my blog very soon! This is a standard card base (8-1/2" x
5-1/2", scored on the long side at 4-1/4") cut from Highland Heather
cardstock. The card front is Basic White 4" x 5-1/4".
I made this card by arranging 5 of the Brilliant Wings dies on the card front
and running them through my die-cutting machine all at once. I used
Post-It tape to anchor them down so none of them moved on me. I then
carefully removed them and embossed the card front with Stampin' Up's Tasteful
Textile 3D Embossing Folder (retired).
The color behind the butterflies comes from a piece of Hues of Happiness
Designer Series Paper. I love the colors in this paper, but it's really
busy on it's own and the butterflies soften it up so nicely!
I adhered the Designer Paper to the card base first, then used liquid glue on
the back of the embossed piece, going carefully around the edges of all the
butterfly cut-outs so nothing lifts up and adhered this on top of the
DSP. The last step was to place all of the butterflies using Mini Glue
Dots and add some bling - Iridescent Rhinestone Jewels. The sentiments
on my card are included in the Happiness Abounds Stamp Set.
Thanks for stopping by!
