Large all occasion card featuring a butterfly assembled from stamped petal shapes with a stamped border and watercoloured flower embellishment
This is my second card for this series of cards created using stamped petals on scraps from my red scrap bin. I stamped them in black and fussy cut them. For this butterfly I diecut a black body using a Sizzix dragonfly die. I trimmed out just the body and added four petals in two different patterns. Worked out quite well. I initially just used double sided tape but when I started working with it I added some white glue where they all join which I held until the glue was dry. Much better!!! I embellished the butterfly with clear glitter on the wings and the body. I trimmed a swirly green and white background and added a couple of stamped flower borders with fussy cut edges. Then I added a red strip between them. I added the butterfly with double sided tape and created the flight path using dots made with a black fine tip Sharpie marker. It still needed a "bit of something" so I dug into my flower stash and found this little stamped flower which I watercoloured to coordinate and then glued in place on the red strip. That was much better!!! Glued the background to my card to finish it up!!
