More butterflies

I love the Flight of the Butterfly stamp set and when I saw this card by the very talented Kirsty Brown (I wish I had even half of her creativity), I knew I had to CASE it.

Here’s my attempt and the girls at my S-A-S on Saturday night did 3 of these each too!

Lots of cutting out! But well worth it – this card is one of my favourites.  For this card I’ve used a base of Riding Hood Red and then matts of Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze and Whisper White. The background stamp is Baroque Motifs stamped in Kiwi Kiss and the sentiment is from Basic Phrases.  Butterflies are stamped in Baja Breeze and Riding Hood Red – the red ones I stamped twice and mounted the top ones so their wings pop up off the page – this also meant I didn’t have to try and cut out the teeny tiny body and antenae of the little butterfly! Finished off with some Kiwi Kiss ribbon, a Rhinestone brad (love those!) and the lace border punch on some Riding Hood Red card.

Thanks for looking! Don’t forget to let me know if you want to come along to one of my classes this month.

Flight of the Butterfly

I fell in love with this stamp set when I saw it on a U.S demonstrators blog and knew that if it made it into our new catalogue here, I would have to buy it. But until now, I hadn’t really used it.  So this week I was determined to make a couple of cards with it.  Both of these cards are CASEd, but unfortunately I can’t remember who made the originals.

This card uses RidingHood Red, Baja Breeze and Certainly Celery & some Certainly Celery ribbon, twine and designer button.

And this one uses Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze, Whisper White and a bit of Cuttlebug love!  Some bling from Dazzling diamonds and a Rhinestone brad to finish off!
