Elegant Butterflies

Yay finally got as chance to play with my new elegant butterfly and lovely labels stamp and die sets from Clearly Besotted Stamps. With just a quick card made the other night I already have many ideas lined up with the use of these sets.

I'm entering this card into the Clearly Besotted Challenge. The theme of this months challenge is 'In Flight' and since I LOVE butterflies and recently got new butterfly stamps and dies....you see where I'm going this!


 I started by using some tiny butterflies in coordinating colours to make a background on card stock. This background was then die cut using a frame die. I loved how these frame dies make a lovely 'embossed edge' around the frame. The middle oval was then die cut and a sentiment with a couple of butterflies stamped on top. The frame and sentiment were layered onto the blank card using small foam pads.


 I die cut all the butterfly shapes and inked up my corresponding stamps with two inks. One colour in the middle or main bit of the butterfly and another colour for the edges of the wings. I really liked this effect.


The finished butterflies were then layered onto the card using foam pads (again!) I added a bit of bling with some small green gems to the two larger butterflies.


I am very happy with the way this card turned out and hope other people like it :-)
