Friday Blog Project - Butterfly Blossoms Card

Hello, Heidi here to share another blog project with you, using one of the many stamps from the Little Claire range.

 

 

 I have chosen to use 'Butterfly Blossoms', a beautiful floral image with two butterflies.  It is an image I haven't used for a while and a couple of days ago, I saw two butterflies similar to the ones in the image, on my buddlia bushes in the garden. I am not sure of their names, but they were really graceful, flitting everywhere before they flew away.  They inspired me to find this stamp and ink it up!

 

 

I have used the wonderful 'Little Claire' - 'Ombre' papers behind the images and have added glossy accents to the flowers and butterflies.

 

Here are the products used on my card :

 

Little Claire 'Butterfly Blossoms' stamp set

Little Claire 'Sending Smiles' sentiment dinky set

Little Claire 'Ombre' papers

Blue Bazzill Card

White Card Blank (15cms x 15cms)

White stamping card

Rich Cocoa Memento Inkpad

Promarker Pens : Denim Blue, Pastel Blue, Pastel Beige,

Caramel and Khaki.

Glossy Accents

Large cream pearls

(Most products available on the website HERE)

 

How my card was put together :

 

(1) Onto white stamping card, stamp up twice and colour in.

(2) From second image, cut out large and smaller butterflies. Stick cut-out butterflies onto image.

(3) Matt main image onto a blue piece of card, leaving 1/2cm edge.

(4) Cut a square of blue card to fit card blank.

(5) Stick a piece of 'Ombre' paper onto blue card, again leaving a 1/2cm edge.

(6) Onto an oblong of white stamping card, stamp up floral image all over, colour in.
(7) Matt onto a piece of blue card.

(8) Start sticking layers together as card.

(9) Stamp up sentiment and once again matt onto blue card.

(10) Add pearls and glossy accents to main image, leave to dry.

 

That's my project done, I do hope you enjoyed it.  Thank you for stopping by the blog today.

Promarkers...caramel, buttercup and primrose

Darice 'Dots' embossing folder

Recipe

1) Cut 4 yellow circle using the largest circle of your Spellbinders and cut 2 kraft blooms using your Xcut 'Bloom' dies.

2) Emboss your 4 yellow circle with the Darice embossing folder and attached 2 of them on to your 2 kraft blooms.

3) Turn over the 2 kraft blooms and attach your ribbon with extra tacky tape like the picture above, making sure you have a hoop at the top and 2 tails hanging from the bottom.

4) Now attach your other 2 embossed circles to the backs of the kraft blooms and this will cover the ribbons to make it look neat.

5) Now cut 2 white circles using your Spellbinders which i chose the next size down from the largest you have used previously to cut the yellow circles. Stamp the Butterfly Blossom image on to 1 circle and coloured in with promarkers. 

6) Using the Daisy Dot stamp set...stamp the letters spelling Mam on to some scrap white card and colour with promakers, now cut these letters out and attach to the 2nd white circle using foam pads.

Tip: Go around the edge of your white circles with your buttercup promarker and then with the primrose promarker to give the circles a little glow.

7) Using foam pads attach your circle containing the word Mam on to your top bloom of your wall hanging and add a little bow too.

8) Using the Marianne design 'Butterfly' die cut out a kraft butterfly and a yellow decorative part and attach to your wall hanging like to picture above.

9) Using foams now attach your Butterfly Blossom image circle on to the bottom bloom of your wall hanging, now cut out another butterfly but in the opposite colours from which your did in step 8 and attach this to one of your tails of your wall hanging.
