Today I have been using the butterfly from the Springtime Impressions dies and the Abstract Impressions stamp set to create a colourful card.
Making the butterfly Springtime Impressions card

I started by using my Big Shot and Whisper White cardstock to die cut the gorgeous detailed butterfly from the Springtime Impressions dies set. For the background I wanted a colourful, spotty effect and after trying various ideas I settled on inking a single flower from the group of small solid flowers and stamping it repeatedly in multiple colours. I used a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” and stamped using 1st and 2nd generation Berry Burst, Coastal Cabana, Gorgeous Grape and Petal Pink inks to achieve the look I was after.

After stamping I wrapped a length of Berry Burst ⅜” Metallic Edged Ribbon around the panel securing on the back with Sellotape. I added a 5” by ⅜” strip of Coastal Cabana cardstock to bring another texture to the card front and flagged the end. The whole stamped panel was layered onto a 5½” by 3¾” piece of Berry Burst cardstock using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The butterfly was then added to the card front using Mini Glue Dots and the panel layered onto a Thick Whisper White card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added some Glitter Enamel Dots to the butterfly body as a final touch. Such a pretty card, I hope you like it.
