The card I’m sharing with you today was made using Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper, Beautiful Butterflies Bundle, Textured Notes Dies and Starburst Sequins.
I started with Fresh Freesia cardstock for the base of my card. Next, I adhered a piece of Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper (DSP) to the front of the card (I have all the measurements I used below the Supply List).
I cut a Basic White rectangle using the Textured Notes Dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, I set this aside. Then, I used the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder (this comes with ten dies) and cut the Fresh Freesia butterfly and the Lovely Garden DSP butterfly. I did use the embossing folder and the die for my Fresh Freesia butterfly but I think it’s distracting, next time, I don’t think I’ll use the embossing folder, I will just use the die.
To put the butterflies together, I added a small amount of glue on the detailed butterfly and then adhered it to the “solid” butterfly. Once the butterflies were attached I cut the middle part of the butterfly using Green Garden cardstock and then glued it down the middle of the butterfly. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of the butterfly but before I adhered it, I wanted to see where my sentiment needed to go.
I stamped my sentiment onto the Basic White rectangle using Fresh Freesia ink. Then, I adhered the rectangle to the front of the card. Next, I added the butterfly to the rectangle.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and then added three Starburst Sequins to the front of the rectangle.
