Hi!
Thanks for coming back for this week's Colour Creations Creative Showcase. We are up to So Saffron this week, a lovely, soft yellow that I quite like. I was in the mood for butterflies this week, so my Brilliant Wings dies got a workout!
I started by covering the back of a quarter sheet of So Saffron in Adhesive sheet, and then run the piece through the Big Shot with as many of the detailed butterfly dies as I could fit on the sheet. I didn't worry if some were a bit cut off, as I knew that I would use them on the edge. The butterflies were then adhered to a second sheet of So Saffron card. I trimmed the edges, and then any useable pieces were added around the edges.
Another butterfly was cropped from Whisper White card and popped up over the heat-embossed sentiment strip. The sentiment is from A Good Man.
One final, partial, butterfly was used for the inside of the card, along with another sentiment from A Good Guy. I quite like this card, so I think I'm going to find it hard to give away! Maybe I will have to make it again in a different colour!
Please head on over to Cathy's blog, where the rest of this week's So Saffron cards are linked. It's sure to be a treat!
Bye for now,
Tina
Tiona this is such a great card for so many occasions, I'd love to see you make it in other colours too. How good do those partial butterflies look on the edge of your card!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. Amazing how two of us can use the same colours and same stamp set and the card be completely different. Love it! The embossing flat on the card looks s good. I must do that more often.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of adhering die cuts to the same coloured background; what a beautiful effect. Your card is lovely, Tina.
ReplyDeleteLove your technique Tina in using die cut pieces in the same colour as the background card stock.
ReplyDeleteYou had me at butterfly! Love it! So good, this looks fantastic having the die cut of the butterflies in so saffron on the so saffron. Great card.
ReplyDeleteAww BINGO on the colour selection and bundle. Great minds think alike!!! Great idea to add adhesive sheet to make it easier to apply the butterflies. This card would look fantastic in any colour!
ReplyDeleteI really love this card. What a great way to make a background. Keen to try that in some other colours.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Tina. I love the look of this card - thanks for the inspiration.
