April Card Making Class - Project 3

This trio of purple butterflies is the third project from my April Card Making Class.

The attendees made four projects on the theme ‘All creatures great and small’.

For this design, my colour combination was Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather and Fresh Freesia, along with Basic White.

First, the background is stamped using the Elements of Text Stamp Set and Fresh Freesia using 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation stamping to create a mottled look. This Stamp Set is from the Online Exclusives range.

Next, each of the butterflies was stamped and cut out using the Sketched Butterflies Stamp Set and Dies Bundle. The largest is stamped in Gorgeous Grape, with the smaller ones in Highland Heather.

These items are on the Last Chance Products list, so grab them while you still can.

A sentiment from the Labeled with Love Stamp Set (also on the Last Chance Products list) is stamped in Gorgeous Grape.

Each of the butterflies has their wings curled using a Paper Folder. They are then stuck to the backround using a line of glue down their bodies only. This allows their curled wings to stand out.

Using Mini Dimensionals, the sentiment is raised up across the centre of the large butterfly.

Finally, Rhinestones are use to add a touch of bling.
