Last Week's Card & Cuppa - Purple Butterflies

Last week’s Card & Cuppa project is this trio of purple butterflies.

I had been asked for a purple project, so my colour combination is Fresh Freesia and Gorgeous Grape, with Lost Lagoon for the accent colour.

This project uses a couple of Two-Step Stampin’ Stamp Sets, All Aflutter and Greenery Lane.

Make sure you check out the Last Chance Products list to get your hands on the Greenery Lane Stamp Set while stocks last.

To begin, the large leaves from the Greenery Lane Stamp Set were stamped in Lost Lagoon to create a background. The smaller leaves were then placed around these, with the infill in second generation stamping.

Then, the tiny flower was added five times in Fresh Freesia.

Next, the butterflies from the All Aflutter Stamp Set were stamped twice onto a separate piece in the purples. Once in first generation, then again in second generation. They were then cut out using the coordinating All Aflutter Punch.

This gave us six butterflies, three slightly lighter than the others. Three were then chosen for the final project. I chose one dark and two lighter ones for mine.

A sentiment from the Banner Sayings Stamp Set and Triple Banner Punch is then stamped, layered and added to the bottom.

Each of the butterfly wings curled using a Paper Folder and then stuck to the project using Mini Dimensionals. These are placed to cover where the large and small leaves join each other.

Finally, small Iridescent Pearls are stuck in the centre of each of the five tiny flowers.
