Hello Honey Bee friends!! Today I am sharing my card that features some of the awesome products from the new Style In Bloom release!
This card features a beautiful rainbow of butterflies I made with the Lovely Layers: Petals & Wings Honey Cuts on top of a background embossed with the Tooled Leather 3D embossing folder.
First I embossed white cardstock with the beautiful Tooled Leather 3D embossing folder and glued it to an A2 card base.
Then I pulled a rainbow of Distress Oxide ink pads in these colors: Spun Sugar, Squeezed Lemonade, Mowed Lawn, Tumbled Glass, and Milled Lavender. I used Detail Blending Brushes to blend the inks in rainbow color order onto white cardstock. I placed the butterfly dies, from the Lovely Layers: Petals & Wings set, onto the ink blended panel and ran it through my die cutting machine. I die cut three large butterflies and three small butterflies from the inked cardstock.
I used Bee Creative glue to adhere the butterflies layers together. I added glue just to the center of the wings so I could "fluff" them up.
The hardest part of making this card was deciding how to arrange the butterflies!! Haha! As much as I tried, I could not fit that third large butterfly on the card in a way I was happy with. Hopefully I'll find a use for it on another project! Once I finally decided on a layout, I used glue to adhere the butterflies to the card.
I stamped two sentiments from the awesome Heart Of Our Family Stamp set. There are SO MANY wonderful sentiments in this set, not only for friends, but for moms, sisters, and grandmothers, too! Then I cut them out with the coordinating Honey Cuts. To adhere the sentiments to the card, I added foam strips to the back of each sentiment.
For a bit of sparkle, I added some gems from the Let's Party Gem Stickers to the butterflies antennas.
I can see using the three adorable flowers in the Petals & Wings set in this same fashion! What do you think?
I hope you are inspired by my card today! I truly appreciate you stopping by! Have a great day!
