It’s that time of year again where the friend who likes butterflies, teal and purple has their Birthday!
For this year’s card, I chose a colour combination of Gorgeous Grape and the new In Color, Tahitian tide.
A background made using the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder is given a subtle colouring using Sahara Sand. Part of the colouring was from inking up the Embossing Folder, and the rest by using a Blending Brush after embossing.
To make the ombre effect, I used Blending Brushes to colour a piece of cardstock with the two colours.
I then cut out the various parts. The butterflies are from the Brilliant Wings Dies with the flowers and sentiment bars from the Sending Dies.
You will notice that I cut the sentiment bar and the flowers more times that I needed. This is because I wasn’t sure which pieces I wanted to use.
For the butterflies to show up against the wall background, they have a full butterfly shape behind them in Basic White. These are again from the Brilliant Wings Dies.
To give the butterflies a 3D effect, each one is stuck to their backing using a thin line of glue down the centre.
The Sending Smiles Stamp Set, part of the Sending Smiles bundle provides the sentiment that sits with the central butterfly.
This whole piece is stuck to the project using Dimensionals.
Each flower is then given a coating of Wink of Stella for a touch of sparkle, before being stuck down using Glue Dots.
Iridescent Pearl centres add a finishing touch.
