Butterfly wishes - Thankyou card

VOTE FOR ME HERE

 

Happy New year everyone, and welcome to another Kylie Bertucci monthly International blog highlights. I can't believe it's come round again so quickly. The theme is an ongoing theme so therfore it's Thankyou again and I think we all need to say thanks for many things.

The card I'm making today uses products that are all available from the main annual catalogue, which I think we tend to forget are still about. I'd be really grateful if you like the card, if you popped over and gave me your vote, let's see if I can make it in to the top ten this year!

So let's get started with the card ......

Materials needed:

Purple Posy cardstock 

1pc - 5 7/8" x 8 1/4" scored at 4 1/8" for the cardbase

Scrap piece for stamping and fussy cutting the flower/branches 

Scrap piece to die cut the small rectangle for the sentiment

Whisper white cardstock

1pc - 5 3/4" x 8" scored at 4" for the inner card

Scrap pieces for 3 large butterflies and 3 small butterflies

Scrap piece for matting behind the sentiment rectangle

Card recipe:

1. Cut and score the cardbase (do not burnish at this time). Now using the rectangle die that measures approx 2 3/4" x 4 1/8" (4th largest of the dies), die cut the middle front of card, then burnish the card.

2. Cut score and burnish the inner card. Stamp onto the front of the card, using  the flower/branch stamp and Highland heather ink, then add in some of the flower stamps to fill some of the gaps. Stamp one of the flower/branch images onto the inside of this piece too.

3. Glue the inner card back flat to the inside of the cardbase, making sure you don't go too near to the fold of the card base.

4. Stamp 3 small butterflies using Gorgeous grape ink and then using the punch cut them out. Give the wings a slight curve using a bone folder to make them look like they are flying, then glue them to the card.

5. Using Gorgeous grape ink stamp the flower/branch onto the scrap piece of Purple posy card and then fussy cut it out with your snips. Glue this onto the top right corner of the cardbase having some of it hanging over into the centre.

6. Using the daubers , Pear Pizzazz and Gorgeous grape ink (one dauber for each colour), ink the large butterfly up and stamp 3 of them onto the scrap white card and punch them out. Give the wings a slight curve again, glue 2 of them together only glueing the body part, and then glue them to the front of the card.

7. Stamp the sentiment onto the purple posy piece of card using Gorgeous grape ink and die cut it out using the rectangle that measures approx 1 1/8" x 2 1/2". Cut a piece of whisper white card a bit bigger and then glue the purple posy rectangle to the white piece, cut a small section off of the right side and then glue it flat to the right side of the card front.

8. Finally using the dark Highland heather stampin' blend  colour 5 rhinestone jewels and then place on the front of the card.

That's the card finished. I loved how it finished up and think it would look lovely in many different colour ways. So why not give it a go and see what you can come up with.

Thanks for popping on to have a look at my blog I really appreciate it. Don't forget to give me your vote!

Until next time take care and happy crafting.
