Butterflies Galore
It's the time of year when we start looking forward to spring, especially those of us in the frigid cold areas of the country. In Ohio we are experiencing the polar freeze and have wild chill temps around -25! So to get away from the cold I stamped a beautiful butterfly card with the gorgeous new Butterfly Gala stamp set.
For color inspiration, I looked to the Sale-a-bration catalog. The Designer Series Paper Botanical Butterfly is full of beautiful colors. The blues and purple stood out so Highland Heather and Balmy Blue became my color palette.
The stamp used for this card has a small butterfly over a larger butterfly. I created a pattern by stamping the butterflies in rows. All of the small butterflies are colored with Highland Heather Stampin' Blends and the larger are done with Balmy Blue. The lighter of each color is in the center with darker shading around the edges.
With all that was going on in the background, I needed something to make my sentiment stand out. A Stitched Circle of Highland Heather creates a base for the Butterfly Element to sit upon. I love these wooden elements from the Sale-a-bration catalog. They add extra dimension and interest to a project. And even better....they are FREE with $50 product purchase!! So now I have a place for my sentiment to go and stand out! The sentiment came from a favorite stamp set of mine, Flowering Desert. It's heat embossed in white on Basic Black card stock to stand out from all the purple and blue.
I added a stamped envelope to make the look complete! I know that I will be doing lots more with stamp set in the future, so fun to work with!! If you'd like to make this card and need supplies, you can visit my online store and shop with me any time! Just click on the link below!
