Last Week's Card & Cuppa - Beautiful Butterflies Bundle and Stampin' Blends

Last week’s Card & Cuppa project used the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle and Stampin’ Blends to create this pretty Birthday Card.

My colour combination was Melon Mambo, Flirty Flamingo and Calypso Coral, with Pecan Pie and Basic White.

The background was created using ‘splats’ from both the Beautiful Butterflies Stamp Set and the Elements of Texture Stamp Set.

Next, the various butterfly shapes were cut out using the Dies from the Bundle in Basic White cardstock.

They were then coloured using Stampin’ Blends. The body in Pecan Pie and the wings in Melon Mambo, Flirty Flamingo and Calypso Coral. For the ‘half’ butterfly, this was coloured on both sides before being folded in two.

Each butterfly was then given a light coating of Wink of Stella.

For the two main butterflies, the back piece was curled before the middle layer was folded to create a spine and attached. Next, the body piece was stuck to the centre to complete the butterfly.

Only using glue down the centre gives the project a more 3D feel.

These two butterflies were stuck to the project using Mini Dimensionals.

The folded butterfly was attached to the sentiment and stuck to the project.

Finally, Rhinestones were added for an extra touch of bling.
