Last Week's Card & Cuppa - Beautiful Butterflies Bundle

Last week’s Card & Cuppa was full of butterflies.

We used the new Beautiful Butterflies Bundle from the Mini Catalogue to create this design.

I was also asked for pinks and purples, so my colour combination is Blackberry Bliss, Petunia Pop, Highland Heather and Petal Pink, along with Basic White.

First, we used the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder to create the background. The raised elements were then coloured using Blending Brushes.

On a separate piece of cardstock, the three butterflies were stamped and then cut out using the Dies from the Bundle.

We cut a few more extra pieces out around the antennae and bottom of the body to help with the final look of flying.

They were coloured using Stampin’ Blends, with a touch of Wink of Stella added afterwards.

A sentiment, also from the Stamp Set is stamped and given a banner-cut end.

Using a Paper Folder, the wings on each butterfly are curled. One of the butterflies is then stuck to the sentiment on one edge before this piece is attached using Tear & Tape.

The other two butterflies are stuck to the embossed background using Glue Dots near the body. As the wings have been curled and aren’t stuck down, they look like they are flying.
